My new desktop build was assembled from components purchased from B&H, Amazon and BestBuy. My preference was to use B&H where possible, but had to turn to BestBuy to get a retail new GPU. At Amazon I will only buy products that are Ships from/Sold by Amazon.com. I do not live near a Microcenter so can't make much use of them.
For some other stuff I turn to the manufacturer directly, like I will typically buy Microsoft equipment directly from Microsoft. I also check Costco, but they have exceptionally limited options.
Walking into my local PC repair shop, I found knowledgeable staff but prices that couldn't compete with B&H.

- mey 5y agoI didn't, but with the limited supply of GPUs available, I expect they weren't going to have issues keeping their prices where they were.
