For cables I've been buying from monoprice.com for a long time. They're reasonably priced, and that lets you buy a bunch to stock up on stuff like USB C cables etc. Hardware I've been buying from Bestbuy.com, but I haven't built a PC since early 2021 and I hadn't cut out buying from Amazon back in 2021. So for PC hardware I'd probably TRY newegg or tigerdirect if that's still a thing.
I have to say though, shopping for PC hardware components on Amazon was a huge pain in the ass, each seller listed info different, left out certain things, so trying to find something exact, like a certain density of RAM at a certain speed with a certain voltage was just a terrible experience.
Monoprice is generally the best choice, sometimes I can get stuff from MicroCenter, but their online shopping is nowhere near as good as in-store so if you don't live in driving distance to one, it might not be an option.
