Hi everyone, before you say it - yes, I know there's a thread on this, I just wanted some more in-depth information and would rather have a new thread....

So I'm planning this build, and I've got it finalised. I've costed it up with various sellers: eBuyer, Novatech, Scan and Overclockers UK. Apart from small variations, all of my baskets are the exact same build, and the prices are all very similar, so that's not really an issue either. I was just wondering if anyone could provide advice from previous experiences with any of these sellers, or recommend others. Three of my friends who have built computers recently used eBuyer and all seemed fine, but I want to know what everyone else thinks!

Thanks in advance everyone.

Techbeast.co.uk new company started up in the UK... Got all my parts very cheap there. They can even build it for you at no extra cost (build time was 1 week and free delivery)


just checked the site out, frankly I don't think the website even for a start up is that great. If by any chance you are James Wilson, a director at the company. Kindly, add a custom builder option to the website also most of the stuff I looked for are out of stock and slightly overpriced.

I would strongly recommend avoiding Overclockers UK.

I've had nothing but hassle with them. Most things I've ordered from them have been faulty (can't necessarily blame them for that) and the way they have handled them has been shocking. Issue after issue, with multiple phone calls to a premium rate number.

I've still got issues going on from the 25th of Jan for my most recent issue.
