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

I've never had to pay anything beyond what the price Newegg.ca gave me was, and I've ordered from there many many times.

Other than that, I always shop at Canada Computers, but that wouldn't work for you, since they're only on Ontario.
