Where to buy computer hardware parts
Computer hardware, including hard drives, memory, and video cards can all be purchased online, in brick-and-mortar stores, and through computer manufacturers. Some stores offer new parts only, while others may also offer used parts. The availability of parts at stores is often more limited for older computers, but manufacturers may have more stock of those older parts. Depending on what hardware you want, shop around and see where to get the parts for the best possible prices.
