I need a Canadian computer parts vendor

[Blankman1026]

Howdy. I got a friend whos looking to buy a new computer. Im trying to get him the best bang for the buck ( he's looking to buy from best buy at the moment and i know i can get him something better for less money). All the site found have a really poor selection. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

TigerDirrect ships up there.

tigerdirect.ca newegg.ca ncix.com futureshop.ca

futureshop.ca usually very expensive!!!!!

Use pricebat.ca to compare prices from various Canadian retailers.

ncix.com, no PST outside BC. Plus they will price match.

NCIX is what I use, I just bought a samsung T220 LCD screen on tuesday while they had the spring break sale on. I put the order through online at 9:30AM online, paid at a bank of montreal ATM with EBP around 3:00 pm. The monitor was in my hands the next day by 1pm.

I would suggest pricematching them to newegg.ca. Newegg updates their prices daily to reflect on the exchange rate and often they are cheaper. I've never had a pricematch denied although sometimes it takes a few days to process.

ncix, newegg

Your best bet is to use Ncix for all ordering and pricematch off of directcanada and tigerdirect. Usually directcanada has best prices, ncix has best special prices, and tigerdirect..... occasionally has better prices. Ncix has the best overall layout/service/etc + pricematch so that's really the way to go.


... and oh yeah, newegg.ca in my experience is terribly overpriced. Nothing like newegg.com at all.

i've never used their online service but if you can pickup http://www.canadacomputers.com/ has great prices

GG?

I knew what he means. As for canadacomputers, they very occasionally have better prices than Ncix, for example the HAF 932 case there is $10 less and if you can pick it up you save the shipping. For the most part though their prices are slightly higher.

Oh, gg literally = good game, but it means a lot more than that to those in the know about its usage. For example, my overclock is pretty gg, burger king sells gg burgers, and if someone uses gg in this manner it is acceptable to then use gg and change its meaning to just about anything. For example, these burgers are gg, your sister is gg, I'm gonna gg your sister. Something like that.
