I've noticed that many in this forum recommend Newegg above the others as far as purchases. ...why? In the past i've pruchased products on Ebay and Amazon with no problems and to the bargain, if one has to return an item, they are not charging a restocking fee as neweggs does. That is the main reason i hesitate in buying from them.

Newegg tends to be fairly cheap, and has (by memory) a fairly good return policy.

Ebay can be a horror if you get a DOA component.

There are a lot of great reasons to buy from Newegg. Great shipping and return policy, decent support, and their product reviews are much more useful and honest than what you find on other sites.
Up until 2 years ago I always bought everything from Newegg... but that is changing now. Newegg use to have the absolute lowest prices on their products... but now you can get new equipment on Amazon, NCIX, and eBay for a cheaper price. The support and returns are not always as simple as dealing with Newegg... but Newegg simply is not as awesome as they use to be. These days I still go to Newegg first because they have a site that you can actually navigate (unlike most sites), but when I figure out what I want then I typically buy elsewhere.

yeah newegg is that deal, i always check there first because of the way you can search for items, but competitive prices are coming strong from NCIX, Amazon, and microcenter. but i still check new egg first. Also on newegg you can save wishlist and such, they need to add a feature where you can add notes to your wishlist on newegg like amazon.

Oh ya, forgot about Microcenter. Their online deals aren't that great... but man, when they have a sale in their store it is nerd heaven! If I was not a home owner, then Microcenter would get most of my paycheck rather than Lowes and Home Depot!

My 'go to' is generally Amazon, but that's because I have Prime. Newegg comes in a close second.
But if I had a Microcenter around here.....

I use eBay only for some old obscure doodad I literally can't get anywhere else. New parts? No.
