Fry's or NewEgg?

[acctingman]

Fry's is offering to beat any internet price and I was wondering if there is any advantages/disadvantages to purchasing at Fry's vs NewEgg?

I'd like to build a budget gaming PC for WoW and possibly some of the newer MMO's coming down the pipe.

Thanks

No disadvantage, really - if Fry's is close, a physical location for returns/exchanges is nice.

Fry's might have sales tax, depending on your state. Newegg might not, depending on your state.

If you do go with Fry's, I suggest searching more than just Newegg.

I wouldn't go into a Fry's to even use the bathroom... I dislike them that much... but what Ken says is true, check the sales tax situation.

As far as a physical store, do you have a MicroCenter nearby?

Luckily have 2 Microcenters within 20 miles here in MD - it's like a computer tech's paradise walking into one. Great place to buy CPUs but think they somehow make it up with other needed parts as far as price. Get you in the store with their awesome CPU prices and hope you end up buying everything else from there too.
