I'm looking to build/buy a new Desktop PC .
Usually that means researching for the individual parts & assembling myself.
Might buy a ready made as the Fun of planning & assembling has worn thin now 
days.
Or a 'bundle'  Motherboard , CPU , RAM pre selected.

So any suggestion's for particularly good Online sellers in the UK ?
I've used SCAN & ECLIPSE or ARIA for big purchases in the past but that's 
been a few years.

I'm not in the UK but I have lots of friends there and they tell me 
http://www.dabs.com has the best prices and is reliable if somewhat 
generic in what they carry.  But if they happen to have what you want 
it's probably your best option.

Scan.co.uk was the second most mentioned, then came cclonline.com and 
finally overclockers.co.uk

Again, this is all hear say - I have never dealt with any of those sites 
myself. Newegg.com is still king across the pond AFAIK, if anybody knows 
a better site I'd love to hear it.

Chillblast is worth a look.
You can customise your choice on their website.
I got a Pc from them a year ago and have had no problems with it.
