Default PC ordering Hell.....

Hello

Trying to build a new OC pc after a loong 2 year break from doing anything with PC's apart from my Laptop and server/work related.

Got a bonus from work so searched around and decided upon this?



OK I had to wait because the Powercolor was out of stock...

Now that's in the PSU went out of stock...

NOW!! they have this on the site...



Not out of stock.. Actually pulled of there site...

Now I have had issues with the retailer before. BUT as Komplett shut down UK business and Scan charge £50 Minimum postage for order to where I am i think that order would be near £100 as it will be 2 parcels, all I really have is Dabs left..

Aria don't do DFI..

I really feel like cancelling and shopping else where. Any suggestions???

The OCZ Freeze is out of stock tooo...

MMMH why are you buying a Noctua fan (for the TRUE i suppose) and then a noisy PSU? I would either get a more powerful fan for the CPU or a quieter PSU.

I can understand what you feel, I should have had all my computer parts 4 days ago but hopefully I'll get them until Friday or even next week...

Well TBH will probably MOD the PSU to be a bit quiter, see how it goes.
I got most of the components on there merit for being good quality. Not for quitness. And if I'm really honest by the time it came to reading about fans I'd had enough and got what seemed good



I'm open to suggestions...

Just tried Scan again...

I only had Mobo Processor and Case in the list and Postage was £92.40 already..

No excuse for that really. I have had whole Motorcycle front ends posted for £22.

Get it so often living here, there is like 20 Miles of water separating me from the Mainland UK. Our postoffice is actully affilated with Parcel force. A letter costs 1p more to post and special delivery / Parcels are between £1 and £3 more. Then you go to a retailer and they wack about £70 on it...

Why I wish Komplett never closed. They ship cases along with whole systems for £22...

Sorry but £92 QUID IS REDICULOUS.... I can get a courier to pick it up for less.....
£44 from Overclockers is Bad enough.

Dabs is £22 no matter what BUT they just don't have the choice...

Thanks gonna try now..

Any other sugetions people. I need a bit of help here.. Been out of the OC Building game for 2 years so lost touch with the good suppliers..

I have built a few systems but for people that wanted just average. Not picky components like us OC'ers.. So I always used Komplett.... Now closed
