Did you look at Newegg.com? they dont always have the lowest prices, but they come in very close and their shipping and customer service is hard to match.

im pretty sure they ship to canada...

theres also a very high demand for the socket 939 chips. hard to obtain one right now.

if you actually read other computer mags like pcgamer or cgw like i do.
they all said both the video cards are evenly matched. it is a tie.
you know,like benchmarks and in game fps stuff......
so, it all depends on you. but i would still recommend the X800 from ati :lol: :lol:

i'd say 3 grand, thats a uber processor and with 2 gigs of ram and a nice monitor. hd is good sized as is the PSU and everything else seems good quality. throw in shipping (maybe extra for canada) or if from a canadian vendor throw in tax.
