Best place to buy parts for new build?

CiniO

I'll be gathering parts for my new PC build soon, and I wonder where is the best place to get them.

Last year, I built a PC for my friend, where he bought all the parts of komplett.ie
All went well, there was one part (PSU) which developed a problem, and komplett arranged free pickup and replaced it for new part without any hassle.

However I don't find their prices too attractive - even though they are probably more attractive than anywhere else in Ireland.

What about buying at mindfactory.de
On a whole built I could save probably between €150 to €200 comparing to buying at komplett.ie?

Does anyone know what is the story with shipping? They say it's €29.99 to Ireland, but does that include multiple parts needed for a PC build including PSU and chassis? My German is not great so I don't understand everything from their website.

Any other places worth looking at?

Thanks for any info.

Everything except the case will be packed into 1 large box for €30 - however the case itself would add another €30 shipping, so might as well get that from Amazon (UK/DE/FR).

Amazon and Komplett is where I buy everything, apart from difficult to get bits, then I take the risk with someone like OCUK. I have frequently had stuff go pop - I'm a very heavy user tbf - and unless the cost is over 10-15% more I'll go with service every time.

I bought a Z77 sabertooth in 2012, Komplett replaced it for the second time under warranty there about 2 weeks ago, albeit with a different board, refunded the difference and let me have the replacement board while they were sorting the RMA on the old board. You simply don't get that level of service with anyone other than Komplett/Amazon. It's not for everyone though and there's something to be said for getting stuff as cheap as possible if it's not critical.

Just placed an order yesterday with mindfactory.de for processor, motherboard, RAM, SSD and power supply...as indicated by K.o.Kiki...all ship in one box for 29.99...am expecting delivery next week sometime..ordering was fine ...needed google translate to get through registering etc...but all was complete in less than an hour ...hopefully delivery will be equally as smooth.
..similar to previous posts I ordered case from amazon.co.uk to save on shipping (also used addresspal.ie).
