So...

Hope you paid less than what they were asking. You could build all new gear for that price.

A quick price check indicates that the listed hardware (and windows) would cost close to $1700 to buy new (though it looks like some components are already obsolete). Including the games makes it an even better deal. So he didn't do too bad.

[CHEW]

Lol you are shopping at some expensive places.

[Maximus]

If you know somewhere cheaper than Newegg (on average, you can get sales for individual items elsewhere that are lower), let me know. Ebay/used/refurb doesn't count.

[Max Rambone]

Yeah, you can hardly beat newegg....some dudes swear by TigerDirect, though.

Plus, newegg has a warehouse in Memphis, Chew.

You have to pay sales tax, but you could pretty much get it overnight without overnight-ing it...lol.

Newegg's site is BY FAR the best inventory browsing system I have seen yet. It's great when you're shopping in a new category and don't know what features are available. Headphone or headset? 2.5mm, 3.5mm, RF, IR, Bluetooth connection? Supra-aural, circumaural, earbud, canal, single ear? Cord length? etc.

When shopping for components I usually check places in this order:

Newegg
Amazon
Buy (.com)

Fry's and TigerDirect can have good sales. Since TigerDirect is in FL, the sales tax usually negates some of the savings for me.
Costco and MicroCenter can have good prices, but there are none near me, and afaik they don't ship.
SVC.com has a massive selection of everything cooling related (heatsinks, fans, etc) and good sales prices.
Best Buy and Dell are usually high, but can have good sales.
I watch Slickdeals, LogicBuy, Techdeals, and Woot for sales info.
There are other decent etailers out there in my favorites that I rarely have a reason to yews and have no personal experience with, such as ChiefValue and AVADirect.

I generally look for what I want on Newegg, then check google shopping with the exact model number, and see if I can beat it.

When I can, it's usually not worth breaking my order down, but Newegg isn't always the cheapest.

I built a bulldozer system for shits on tiger direct with a ssd and a hdd, sli gtx 280s, and liquid cooling for 1300......
