PCPartPicker Buying Help

[raspyscout]

Hey everyone,

I have a question: what's the cheapest way to buy PC parts from PCPartPicker

I am aware that PCPartPicker is only a list that shows parts, but wouldn't buying parts seperately cost more than usual due to shipping costs?

Thanks, RaspyScout.

You can choose which stores to purchase parts from for PCPartPicker if it is available from that store. It also shows you if there are rebates/promos and if the items is free to ship.

Here is an example from a build in a recent thread. http://pcpartpicker.com/user/WarEagle/saved/RGn8TW

You can see details regarding which store, rebates (I don't know how mail-in rebates work ^_^), promo/combo, shipping, etc.

Usually buying a pre-built system from a store costs less but there are people who want to build PCs on their own. Usually they use PCPartPicker to buy or to get an idea for the PC they are going to buy.

PCPartPicker services isn't available in my country but it is really helpful when making builds.

Hope this helps and I hope I made sense.
