Where's a good/reliable/cheap place to buy parts to build your own pc. Buying a pc as a whole is way too gosh darn expensive these days, anyone know a good place/website? Much appreciation.

I get mine from www.insight.com
There are cheaper places, but their service is unsurpassed in my opinion. The components for my last 3 computers have come from there. My experience has taught my that buying really cheap stuff from 'never heard of' places, can be a pain in the ass. Hope this helps.

In the States, I HIGHLY recommend Newegg.com and/or Googlegear.com. They are very cometitive on pricing, as in one of the cheapest if you search on Pricewatch.com, and their service is amazing. I've ordered lots from both, and love them. Get whatever is cheaper between either of them.

Crucial RAM is great, and reliable in everyday applications. That being said, nothing can ever beat Corsair XMS if you will be gaming and/or overclocking.

I've ordered generic RAM before and it hoses out in no time. I've bought stuff from pcboost (not RAM) in the past and they have been good though.
