I can find thee cheapest part but i don't know which part cheapest & reliable?

Well, if you're looking for the absolute cheapest then buy from a distributor. Although, be advised there are always sign-up fees and membership fees are not uncommon as well.

Ingram Micro is one of the biggest in the USA- There are others, just Google "Computer Part Distributor" and you will get a list of lots of distributors- not rErail shops.
 
It has been my experience that most customers who call for repairs didn't buy a $300 computer to begin with. I ask my customers and the majority of them tell me they paid north of $800 for their computers.

I don't mind explaining that a decent Power supply will cost $60-80 for the part. and that under normal conditions it will out live the computer.

I personally stay away from off brand memory chips as I have been burned by them in the past. Buy Kingston and Corsair on sale and again explain the reason they want decent components.

I'll agree that it is a little hard to understand....

However, here is a list of notable, reputable power supplies (slightly outdated):
http://www.tech-forums.net/pc/f76/read-first-updated-power-supply-guide-137927/

My favorites for CHEAP (not necessarily high quality) replacement PSU are Antec, Thermaltake, Fortron, and OCZ. You really do have to do a bit of research though to ensure that you get a good match. I say that because, for example, I've had some Antec power supplies that were lemons, and then I've had some other ones with names I've never heard of that tested good.

Just make sure that when you say "cheap," that you do a good job explaining to your customer the value of some higher priced parts. Perhaps the reason you're replacing their motherboard is because it was a cheap one, and they really need to invest a little in a better quality part.

I am sory if its hard to understand . thank you
 
Memory= G. Skill, Crucial, Kingston

Hard Drives= Western Digital, Seagate

Cases= Antec, Coolermaster

Power Supplies= Antec, Corsair, OCZ(PCP&C), Okia (for cheap), Rosewill (cheap and good)

Optical Drives= LiteOn, LG, Plextor (high price)

Motherboards= Asus, Gigabyte, MSI

Yes I read your topic, your english is a bit odd and somewhat broken but understandable and I covered what you asked and a bit more, maybe it is useful to you.
 
RAM: Corsair, Kingston, or Crucial (whatever's cheapest at the time)
PSU: Corsair, OCZ, Antec, Thermaltake (again, whatever's cheapest)

Glad it helps. Being in the UK newegg does nothing for you for orders but it is still a good reference to know what to avoid...users of any kind, be it end users or techs doesn't matter in that if it is crap people will state as such and reviews will reflect it, so take into consideration some of the above suggestions because it is actually a useful tool of sorts, and again, you're welcome for the list above. :)

I noted that you are UK based, I am US based so I am unsure of the sites you mentioned, sorry if my previous statement was misleading or worded in a confusing manner. As for WinPower I personally know nothing of them but a quick Google search does not show them to be impressive.

You site url is missing a portion of the url tag and thus shows up broken, you may wish to add the additional ] to correct this issue.
 
For some weird reason, I see a terrorist with a beard being a dick to everyone who spends a lot of time here learning and helping each other. I wish I could actually read to the third page, but the horrible english is killing me and my eyeballs.

Good luck finding your ram and psu though.
I don't know how this topic could have even carried on to three pages. ???
Had I asked the same question, I'd have gotten 5 replies and I'd have done what one of those 5, or maybe 2 of those 5 said... and I definitely wouldn't have given people flack for trying to help me.

EDIT: Heh. 4 pages, I should say.

I would agree with most of the peoples recommendations here as far as quality and value. I will ad TP Link as some decent low end networking devices. For power supply's I usually trust Antec to make a good power supply for the money. OCZ seems to have pretty good RAM prices lately.

On side note you should really relax because although maybe you don't see it your attitude will leave you without anyone to answer anymore of your questions. Although probably unintentional you are coming off selfish and quick tempered like you have paid us for detailed reports on whatever you would like to know. Be a bit more humble is all I ask. Please don't confirm this observation by replying to me like you have to others.
