Where to buy Resistors and Capacitors?

Hi, I'm a noob and have about 95% of the parts, but can't seem to figure out where to buy the following items on the list:
150 Ohm resistor, 270 Ohm resistor, 33nF capacitor (10nF will work fine as well if that’s easier to find)
I looked on adafruit and sparkfun, but they don't seem to have the specific numbers for their resistors and capacitors. Where is a reputable place I can buy these online (or offline?? radio shack?). Thanks so much!

ebay is your friend! or your local electronic components store.
(TACTLESS, HORRIBLE, SHAMELESS PLUG: I also have the resistors and switches available in the buy, sell forum. capacitors are sold out though sadly)

Thanks for the heads up on ebay. You were right, tons of these things on there.

Super cheap with just about everything you need with fast shipping that I use often is Tayda Electronics which ships worldwide.

There might also be a few on Digikey and Mouser, but the prices might be a bit high. @OP, if you can provide your country, we might be able to help more.

I have a faulty PC motherboard laying around. Would I be able to reuse resistors and capacitors from that?

Yes for the resistors, however you may need to be wary of the capacitors. Old motherboards typically have leaky/about to leak/high ESR capacitors, which won't work very well in the project. However, that doesn't mean that you shouldn't use them, just check them carefully first and see what brand they are as well (Capxon has bad quality, while Nichicon/Rubycon/Sanyo are among the highest).

So Radio shack has the ohm resistors but no capacitors.. will these work?
