looking to possibly build a pc after a long number of years.

what sites are the ones to use now?

 

[JOEY_8]

Wootware is the best

+1 for Wootware.

Carbonite if you don't mind the pre-owned market, although there are also good deals on new stuff. Need to use your head when buying though and be aware of scammers (it's a tech classifieds after all).

Beware of Evetech. Very popular, well advertised with low(er) prices, but you'll struggle to get warranty and support out of them. Google / search the forum for examples of how lame they are in this regard.

+1 Wootware is fantastic.

Just stay away from Evetech. Their aftersales support is beyond it.

Evetech has been banned | Announcements

It's been itching for a while now and the latest blatant disregard for decency with regards to their warranties, never mind that they're actually breaking the law in my opinion, and how it has been affecting carb members has forced me to ban, for the first time, a well known company from having...

carbonite.co.za

I've seen guys mention @Flashgear a couple of times.
I haven't purchased from him however, AFAIK he has an online store as well.

I'd take a bet you'll get parts cheaper. I haven't used Wootware yet, it's quite expensive (I stick to Takealot mostly, and BoB).

Actually bought a few things from them a few days ago, package coming today.... they really good generally with sourcing from multiple suppliers I have found.

 

[jackshiels]

Can vouch well for Carbonite, but choose sellers with good ratings or previous donations to the site's hosting. I've both sold and bought some really great GPUs there (often for far less than retail, with validated warranties). Just recently got an RTX card for about 20% cheaper, pretty much brand new. Overall, its a positive experience if you act sensibly.

Titan Ice is my favorite.

Wootware over and over again. Don't even waste time on the others.

They picked up my son's gaming PC via courier on their own cost and identified a faulty GPU as the problem that I did not even buy from them.

All I had to do was to pay for the return courier fee of R180.

This after my local PC Shop's technician said the power supply was faulty. Scary hey...

Stuff like this why I dont support local anymore.

I will never ever consider anyone else in future and recommend it to everyone wanting to buy PC related stuff.

Good service and best prices no one will ever beat.

WOOTWARE!!!!!!!!!!
