It's a big question I know, but can people recommend me the cheapest places/websites to get the best quality components, MOBOS, chips, RAM, drives, cases, monitors etc?
Many thanks
Mike

Check out PC Index as they list the most up to date prices for hardware.
As DSmith points out Scan is a good place to look since they also have a "Today Only" section here
Also,I modified the urls that DSmith listed so that they are clickable:
Scan
Dabs
Simply
Overclockers
Hope this helps you out?

Check out jungle.com as well, they do decent priced parts 
Just upgraded my P3 450 to a P4 1.8ghz today oh what a difference and before anyone says that AMD are quicker, read the small print... (says something like.. on windows aplications, ie office, word etc, for games they are cr@p!)

Damn right, not sure what reviews he reads/makes........
Apples and pears a bit, but the AMD are stronger in direct comparison in most generic use.......
Bummer is that they need much more advanced cooling in general than the Intels. Built an old PIII-1Ghz from bits lying around and was amazed that I couldn't actually hear it running and with more that adequete cooling too!
Intels for people not wanting to break the frontier etc, etc, but want a nice reliable'cough' quiet PC.
AMD for all out hooligan performance at a lower price, but more thought needed in general beforehand....
