Where to get components (UK)....

With my build being 5years old I think it's time for a refresh but where to get components from ....
Given the all too common horror stories, I'm going to avoid Amazon, but other than Scan and Overclockers, what other sites are reliable?

Overclockers is about the cheapest out of them. There's also Novatech, who I've used over the years. CCL are supposed to be right gits or something. Box comes up on search results but idk anyone who's actually used it, same with AWD-IT. Avoid NewEgg UK also.

I've bought various things from CCL, Box, and AWD-IT. No complaints but also I've never needed support with anything.

I bought from Box when building mine last year, they were good, had no issues at all.

I get my watercooling gear from either watercoolinguk.co.uk or OCUK, very occasionally SCAN. For components, since I'm cheap my builds/upgrades are usually previous-gen stuff secondhand from eBay, but if I'm buying new then I'll use PCPartPicker and sort by price. I exclude marketplace sellers because there are fewer consumer rights (Section 75) when buying through a marketplace than from a retailer directly.

I like Overclockers. They’re always amongst the cheapest, although nobody really undercuts anybody else massively. They alway chuck a load of sweets in your delivery so you’ve something to enjoy during your build. I’ve ordered from Scan too, and no complaints there either.

Can’t suggest anything but it does annoy me that we don’t have retailers in the uk that sell components. The US have it good with micro center

Novatech is OK, as is scan and Overclockers
Ebuyer are crap now.
