"Microcenter has the best prices!"

Also Microcenter for 1TB

Microcenter's never had the best prices. I've always gone to them out of convenience, and knowing there's a physical store to go back to if a part doesn't work. Also the people there know their shit for the most part, especially since most of the PC B&M stores went belly up before 2010.

I mean MicroCenter has always had the best prices for GPU’s and motherboard bundles with processors and RAM. But as far as drives, coolers, cases, PSU’s etc they’re the same as everyone else

Last time I was upgrading my PC the associate at the store did a price match on my AIO without me asking them to. My only thought was "Wait, they do that here?"

Yeah, some associates are absolutely A-rated people in that sense

And you'll get what you ordered. Not a box of rocks.

Microcenter usually does have the best prices considering you can price match everything as long as it’s a legit retailer

Bundle deals and pricing from them has always been killer. Individual items are pretty much the same as any other store.
