Go on HP part surfer and find the part number and you can order from there or 
plug the part numbers into the web and buy them elsewhere.

Personally I don't go assembling servers from multiple vendors as you lose half 
the benefit of dealing with an HP or a Dell which is the warranty/service. 

Thanks,
