Hello everyone, first of all thank you to those who will take the time to read this till the end. So, I’m going to set up a build soon and I was thinking of buying my components on Montgallet street. I would like to know if the shops there are reputable. Maybe there are a few places to avoid... that’s normal. But if all these shops aren't great, I’d rather pay a bit more on Amazon (for example).
By the way, if this street isn't that great, could you recommend some reliable websites where I can order my components calmly?

Thanks in advance ;)

    Hello
    There are so many shops on Rue Mongallet that it's hard to make a choice.
    You have other sites than Amazon > Rue du Commerce > Matériel.Net, > Clubic, reliable sites.
    Matériel.Net is a bit expensive compared to other sites.

      And often small computer shops don't have a wide range of components to choose from.
      They will offer you more expensive intermediaries that are probably less efficient than what you originally wanted.

      Ordering online is the best thing to do to be sure not to get "ripped off" by some so-called professionals in the computer field. I'm not generalizing, but most of them talk a lot to sell their stock :) .

      For example: Near my place, I bought a Noctua NH-D14 for 90€, online it was 75€. I didn't want to wait and pay 15€ in shipping for a cooler, so I thought it would be better to pick it up at the store; I had some Kingston HyperX T1 sticks back then, so my question was whether it would fit over those, and as the salesperson was a talker, he said, "Yes, there won't be any problem." In the end, no, I had to change my RAM. T.T
      Additionally, he had given me the model for socket 2011 (what an idiot), I told him I had an i5 2500k (socket 1155), and he didn't even know that the two models existed. I had to bring it back for him to exchange it. (Still, he must have had to change all his stock because who orders an i7 3930k or even higher-end? Well, no one at those prices).
      But that's not all, I had asked if he had other brands besides Noctua, like Phanteks (one of the best alongside Noctua), and he didn't have it, nor did he have the Corsair H100 (in water cooling).

      Just to tell you that you will never find in-store what you have online, and they don't know much about hardware, and the advice given is nonsense! And we're here to advise you.

      P.S.: Sorry for the rant!

      So if you have a maximum price not to exceed, CCM is here to help you choose what you really need.

      - from a performance/quality/price perspective

      For that, I don't think I'll have any problems ;)

      My setup: https://imageshack.com/

      And for the maximum price, suggest me some components or setups if you want and I'll see later. Just don't suggest the K computer either ;)

    You are on top.
    With this, you can go for it.
    I don't see a power supply in your configuration.
    Look at the link; they give 550 watts.
    Personally, for such a configuration, I would get a bit more and a +80.
    It's better to have a little extra margin, and there’s not much difference in price.
    Get a well-ventilated case, as airflow is important.
    Good luck.

      For the power supply, I chose a Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold 600W and for the case, a Cooler Master HAF 912 Plus.
      In your opinion, is everything compatible? Does everything fit?
      Thank you ;)

    I live in Belgium and I have two laptops, one 15" and one 18.3" from the brand QForce, which are expensive but reliable and of high quality.
    These two PCs are manufactured in Holland and come from a very professional computer store near my home.
