I find komplett to be the best in terms of service, and ebuyer the best in price.

dabs.com is the best ive used so far.
watford electronics (savastore) watford.co.uk is ok as long as u dont want to us their returns policy. its crap. they wont accept anything as faulty until they have tested it.. they very rarely have any1 in to do the testing so if you need a replacement fast you are out of luck. if they decide its not faulty (they "test" behind closed doors) you cant get a refund or replacement at all unless you pay their "restocking fee" which is 20% of the refund price.
i used to use them but after a problems with their ram which they refused to admit was faulty im sticking to dabs.com now. excellent delivery service although i havent had to try their returns policy yet
 
I know others have already mentioned these, but I thought I'd give my opinions anyway...

<b>Dabs.com</b> is good, but the descriptions of stuff can be a bit limited. bought loads from here and never had any problems...
<b>Overclockers.co.uk</b> have fairly decent prices but I had some problems ordering recently and they were extremely unhelpful, so I've given up there...
<b>Komplett.co.uk</b> I've just ordered a load of bits from here, and they should be arriving today. I did send a quick query about my order, and had a very rapid and helpful response - so far so good, but of course I haven't actually received anything yet... I'll let u no.

Kompletts site is also very well laid out and easy to use.

Ive bought about 5 complete systems from komplett, and have had problems with none. Also, the ebuyer site is very poorly laid out.
