Pricewatch is a great place to find prices, but be sure to check the company's reseller ratings to make sure they are legit.  It seems for every decent company PriceWatch searches, there are 3 fly-by-night operations.  Be careful.

Also, NewEgg.com is the best (IMHO) computer parts store online.  I think just about everyone knows about them, but they are worth mentioning anyway.

ZipZoomFly.com is also a very great place for computer parts, although neither them or NewEgg will have really old parts of course.

Otherwise, there's always eBay.

Ebay and newegg would be top for me

Tiger direct can be OK at times

Pircewatch gets the "most overrated site ever" award from me. Horrible site, bad design, and almost every store/link/thing gets bad reviews, is a rip off, and/or doesn't have anything in stock. Place looks like some 15 year old learned .html one day. Most likely IS what happened too.
