Danger-Mouse Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 Anyone know a cheap supplier of PC components? I`m looking at having a new one built. I have a list of what I want and I have someone who can put it all together. Now just need a supplier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brixsmaid Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 Give Novatech a try http://www.novatech.co.uk/ - mate of mine has built a couple using their components and was happy - obviously you'll be using their online services, bit far away for you!

derfley Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 Don't forget amazon as well, my last upgrade (i7, motherboard 16GB ram and a SSD) worked out cheaper from amazon than from aria, scan or overclockers whom would have usual been my first choices.

Loki Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 Hiya Last couple I had built the chap putting together recommended getting components from https://www.aria.co.uk/. My experience of using them was good. L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srspower Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 (edited) Go to amazon, buy the parts and build it yourself. It's easy to do in fact it is the first thing I'd expect a new apprentice of mine to be able to do before I teach them more difficult tasks.

The last time I tried to add more RAM to a PC I managed to short it out. A guy I know has offered to put it together for me and only wants £10 for his time. That`s the option I`ll be taking.

old'un Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 Best way is to make a list of parts you need for your build (spec) then do a search (Google) for said components, make a folder in favourites and save any websites that offer the best prices.

hedge Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Give Novatech a try http://www.novatech.co.uk/ - mate of mine has built a couple using their components and was happy - obviously you'll be using their online services, bit far away for you! +1 I bought a barebones system from them and fitted my own HDD etc. Having said that, most on-line suppliers are much same. I try to avoid generic parts and get branded PSU's etc. Seem to last longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandspider Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 ebuyer.com have always been good for me. Quick and cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkeyKong Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 +1 for overclockers.co.uk Bought components from them and put the system together myself and it's been running for just over 7 years without fault. Had a faulty graphics card on delivery and they replaced it without question. Excellent service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
