Heavy items (Case, Monitor) can be a good idea to buy in a store (If you have the means to carry them around), as shipping can possibly be expensive on those items.

If I know exactly what you want and won't change my mind, then I'll probably buy everything online in order to save money. However, if I have doubts on a part, I might just buy it in a local store, for the convenience of being able to return it and get a new part easily and right away.

If there's something I want to try (example: monitors), I'll go in the store first and will most likely end up buying it online to save.

In general, I'll personnally buy everything online, unless:
a- I need to see/try it
b- I'm unsure about it and might end up returning it
c- shipping is too expensive.

Hope that helps,
Mathieu

Are you talking about things like keyboards/cases/mice etc? I'm thinking of building a computer after my final year of school (thinking about the $400 gaming computer) So, could you please list some of the items that you personally would buy from the store?
