Newegg lost all credibility with me years ago.
Do you or anyone else have suggestions on where to go to buy parts or premade PCs for Canada? I’ve been trying to upgrade for years but I honestly just don’t know where to buy from anymore.
Depending on where you live, check memory express. They only have 10(?) locations nationwide, but i’m pretty sure they’re in all the big cities
Looks like there’s one in the city next to mine, thats excellent. Thanks!
For Canada, unfortunately no. Unless Microcenter is available up there, that’s my go-to these days. You could maybe try them out online, I dunno if they’d ship to you.
I’ll check it out, thanks 👍
Try Canada Computers or Best Buy.
Thanks, i hadn’t heard of Canada computers.
Interesting, is best buy generally considered a good place to buy from? I guess I just kind assumed big chain = overpriced and unreliable.
BestBuy is generally overpriced. Sometimes good deals on peripherals and their returns policy is generous.
Odd that you have never heard of Canada Computers. If you are in Quebec, they are called Ordinateurs Canada.
Depending on where you live, you might have a Memory Express nearby.
Well tbh i probably have heard of them before at some point but when you search up “where to buy a new pc canada” it’s tough to tell whats legit or not.
My last pc was made by a local place that went out of business and I never really upgraded it or anything after that.
Microcenter has two locations in the entire western half of the country. There are tens of millions of people in the US who live more than 1,000 miles from the nearest Microcenter. Every time I’ve gone to their stupid website they’ve said they can’t ship any of the things I want. Microcenter isn’t a real thing.
My GTX 970 is still going strong, I can wait another three years until prices go down.
I’ve been telling myself that for years now
Yeah, fuck neewegg. I’ll never forget their GPU bullshit from the pandemic.
Fuck I couldn’t upgrade before the tariffs. Now I’m gonna be rocking a 10+ year old rig by the end of this and there won’t even be elections to fix it.
Right? I refuse to buy Nvidia anymore. Their prices are criminal. Fuck em. It’s not the tarrifs at all.
AMD is releasing cards in a few weeks. Would be worth checking those out when they arrive. nVidia and AMD releasing cards within a month of eachother should also mean there is a plethora of used cards on the market.
I was looking at AMD and Intel for this build. Gonna make a new build for my Linux gaming needs cause Nvidia is not worth dealing with.
So price hikes on cards they don’t have….
Bunch of greedy ass geezers. I’ve been watching the MSI RTX 5090 Liquid Suprim SOC. Announced at 2,499. B&H initially had it at that price, then 2,789, then 2,799, then back to 2,789. US MSI store also went to 2,799. Haven’t seen a price yet on NewEgg.
Edit: Just noticed that I’d said “4090” instead of “5090”. This has been corrected. Apologies for the typo.
Announced at 2,499
…for a video card. Jesus.
