I am just wondering.... Is this a good purchasing strategy:
11 parts, PC Part Pickers show you the cheapest websites you can get them at... So is it a good strategy to just click their links and buy it from the recommended cheapest source? Or will that cause all kinds of problems?

If you don't get what I mean, here is the list. For example, with the CPU it says ($169.99 @ Newegg) so I can just click all the NewEgg options, make a cart list, purchase, then move onto the next Store on the list.

So currently it would be 2 from NewEgg, 3 from OutletPC, 2 from Micro Center, 1 from Mwave, 1 from NCIX US, and 2 from B&H. (Of course if you actually look for lots of these their are 2-3 sites with the same prices so in the end it would end up being probably buying from 3 stores).
