Best place to buy a computer online?
Any thoughts or ideas? Currently on the market

NCIX.com. They'll build anything from an arbitrary list of parts and they do a great job. Speedy, great prices, good support... nothing bad to say about them really.

can't believe nobody mentioned http://www.newegg.com/

They're a Canadian company and don't have any stores in the US. Their US website doesn't seem to have the pcbuilder section. They do have good sales sometimes.punkUser wrote:NCIX.com.

Still good to know since I was planning on building a new desktop this summer but might be too busy to do it myself.
Newegg is good if you don't live in California or New Jersey (sales tax).
Re: Best place to buy a computer online?
Yeah NewEgg. It's like....awesome....

If you've got a MicroCenter anywhere in driving distance, get your big parts from there. eg. If Newegg and NCIS have i5-2500k for 210, MC has it for 180, etc.
Also, this is a great site to compare across vendors: http://pcpartpicker.com/

Oh yeah, Microcenter has absurd deals on mobos and CPUs, but in-store only.

Indeed, although I don't know where Ratking is from so I thought I'd throw it out as one that I use (I'm in Canada).Aki wrote: They're a Canadian company and don't have any stores in the US. Their US website doesn't seem to have the pcbuilder section.
Surprising to hear that the US site doesn't have the pc builder thought, but I'd be even more surprised if they wouldn't still be willing to do it. I don't see any real reason why that would be a problem, but who knows.

Good info guys. Ill let you know how it all works out

More important question: does Windows 8 still suck?
Re: Best place to buy a computer online?
Only if you use/like the start menu (beyond search, which is the same). I haven't used it for ages and thus for all intents and purposes Win8 is basically the same with a few minor improvements (copy dialog task manager, storage spaces, DX11.1, etc).Aki wrote:More important question: does Windows 8 still suck?
