As a European who has recently moved to the US, I'm somewhat clueless when it comes to retailers. Where would you recommend that I go looking - online shops preferred - for a, say, Radeon 9800 pro.
I've tried pages like bizrate.com and pricegrabber.com but they seem to have a preference for googlegear.com and newegg.com; should I just stick with these?

Thanks,

I am also a loyal newegg shopper. (use the newegg ad link on this site) They have always given me good prices and great service. I also have used
googlegear and they have also been good to me and many others here. But if it came down to newegg or googlegear for the same item and price, I go with newegg. Both places usually offer free shipping as well on most products.

TigerDirect is also a good retailer. I would try newegg first but special deals from Tigerdirect can be very good.

Also make sure you check the Anandtech Hot Deals Forum for the best ongoing deals on computer related purchases. AT Hot Deals can save you alot of money but make you want to spend more :p They have alot of special deals listed from big retailers like Staples, Best Buy, and CompUSA, etc. Those big retailers don't have the best normal prices like newegg, but their special incentive deals can be awesome, like a 120gig HD for $76, etc.
