    The resellers like xoticpc.com will probably sell you components.

    As said before, I'm sure resellers would sell you new cards. There are also some on Ebay, and the marketplace here. There has to be other retailers online that sell them, but I don't know of any offhand.

    It really doesn't mater. Any reseller that you are comfortable with will work.

    There are also some cheaper options direct from China, such as Waresphere:
    Graphics Card - Parts - Computer

    But most of these companies are on Alibaba.com, and often have ES/QS parts.
