Computer Components Vendors

I need to build a new comp and I'm wondering if anyone has a preferred vendor for these sorts of things?
I was always a brick and mortar buyer but since Fry's got run into the ground I'm not sure where to turn.
The last time I bought components online was when the internet was new and Newegg was a reputable company.
If anyone wants to open a Micro Center out west you'd make a killing. There's an enormous vacuum in that market.

I used to deal a lot with the now-closed Tiger Direct, but also a bit with Newegg. What bad luck did you have with Newegg?

Not the most convenient for you but Central Computers in Santa Clara is excellent. I built 2 systems a couple years ago, about 75% of the components came from there.

I've ordered from Tiger Direct as well, funny those two used to be the go to places.
Newegg sent me four bad touch screen monitors in a row. Not technically their fault but they also seem
to have gone the Amazon route of offering literally anything their vendors will ship. Meh.

I appreciate the recommendation, I figured the south bay must have a store for this sort of thing.
Gotta time it right though, 680/880 traffic can be grueling.
