Shit for the computer? Really? lol
Please go into depth on what the components you purchased.
Though I'm pretty sure your Gpu didn't come with the computer itself so let's take that off the list.
No your correct, Daco's Computer components are indeed "shit".
No need to be bashful about getting your words out.
Newegg, a lot of times you can get a good deal and there are a lot of quality components to choose from. I built my PC with parts from Newegg, took three days tops for everything to be shipped to me.

Weekends are the only exception, unless you get next day or overnight shipping.

Newegg is one of the best

I really used to hate em. Now I love em.
im kinda concerned about 2 things of that shop.
1)you had to return 2 times cause something was broken. wtf?
i have never ever had to return from all the shops where i bought electronics/computer shit
2) "take it straight to the store and swap it out"
sounds normal, don't all shops do that? specially electronic stores... 
not all retailers have "stores"
tigerdirect used to be just a website like newegg. returns were hell because of no physical store but the prices are amazing. In my area it the best. I'v had way more issues with newegg then with tigerdirect. I buy a lot of computer stuff. 2 isnt all that much.

well, if you meant online shopping then i withdraw my argument
Tigerdirect bought the rights to the name of compusa if anyone was curious. if you go to compusa.com it will be a red version of tigerdirect. Both tiger and newegg are good. I just choose on whichever has the best deal at the time. Newegg has alot more but often times I catch tigers at the perfect times. Got my bfg gts 250 video card from tiger for 80 dollars and a 3 month supscription to wow (which i sold on ebay for 5 dollars lol)
I will never use a PC for personal use that was built by some other random person...
I prefer to do it myself, so I know when something goes wrong, I can't blame anyone else but myself... Plus, I know exactly what goes wrong and what I need to fix...
It's like when you take your car in to get it fixed... you don't see what happens behind the scenes... I have worked in an auto shop, so I know there's always the occasional... "OH SHIT" when you fuck up... and then you gotta figure out some way to fix it in the allotted time. So wouldn't you rather know what happens and watch the person doing the job and make sure they are doing it right? I don't mean learn how to replace the engine or anything, I just mean watch so that IF they make a mistake (snap a bolt off or break a piece of plastic that might be important to the job or something) and then they half-ass it to not have to order another part... then you know what happened... so that the next time you come in and your tire fell off, you know why.
Dunno, I just have better peace of mind when I do things myself and when I know they are done right...
