"Did you take into account these are Canadian Dollars and I live in Canada. We don't have NewEgg.com up here. So we have to pay a bit more for the parts."

"I mostly used Canada Computers for my parts, since they are local, and seem to have the best prices."

"Of course any suggestions are welcome!"

"Is the above system from a Canadian Supplier? If so what is the URL? Also is that video card really better than the ATI card(which comes with HL2 Episode 2 and Team Fortress 2 I think) in Windows Vista performance?"

Where in Canada are you? I'd suggest Canada Computers or Wintronic Computers if you're in the Western GTA (Hamilton, Oakville or Mississauga). If not, use ncix.com. They price in Canadian dollars and ship from within Canada.

www.canadacomputers.com - Entire GTA including Hamilton
www.wintroniccomputers.com - Western GTA (Mississauga, Oakville, Burlington, Hamilton, St. Catherines)
www.ncix.com - All of Canada
