@Abuzar: Don't forget this is in Canadian dollars, so take prices from somewhere like NCIX, not Newegg.
Last I looked at the exchange rate, it was close to being 1:1, so if you are looking at Newegg, or NCIX, it should be about the same.
Oh, and I agree. He should build his own computer. If somewhat older folks, like me, can build their own, anyone can. :)

I think he means that since he cant buy from newgg, I should take Canadian store prices which might be more expensive.

Maybe so. I have ordered from NCIX, a number of times, but it was always US dollars.

I meant both really, NCIX may be slightly more expensive than Newegg, but I also ment take the price in CAD too. I had no idea the exchange rate had dropped to 0.997. Last time I looked $1 in US was about $1.10 in Canada, I suppose that's another effect of the falling US dollar...

Haha I was just jokingly referring to the fact that Canadian money is actually worth more than ours these days.
