honestly chapset, I'd recommend directcanada or ncix over newegg.ca for the vast majority of purchases. Newegg.ca ships from the US, and you could easily be on the hook for customs charges and taxes when your stuff crosses the border. Not to mention both dc and ncix offer free shipping if you spend over a couple hundred unlike newegg. Buy from a Canadian site so there are no surprise costs.

Hi there, I am currently buying parts for a PC and, being from Vancouver, the first place I looked is NCIX.  Sadly they are considerably more expensive than Newegg.ca, although I am considering sending them an e-mail and asking them to price-match.  I'd also like to point out that Newegg.ca claims you won't have to pay any additional charges for the materials crossing the border. It's all included in the checkout cost.

Dunno about that Direct Canada site, its rather hard to navigate imo

NCIX is the place to go to for Canadian buyers, if only for one reason:

THey will pricematch any legitimate price from any online competitor in Canadian dollars. Period. It's more legwork, but you could end up saving two or three hundred bucks depending on what kind of rig you build.
