It's mayne. He cannot see other forums.

I thought that he got his eyes fixed, so he can now find this link to the PC building forum:

Computer Building

General computer building discussions, questions, and troubleshooting. This is the place to discuss the latest computer hardware issues and technology.

I'm not impressed by any prebuilt deals out there. sigh.

3700X is C$409. 3600 is C$270. 2700X is C$390 on amazon.ca
My 3700X build was sourced from US... Other than the case.

Here I thought you just went to Canada tire and bartered for computer parts using moose pelts and Timmy's coupons

I guess I should point out the few caveats with the current build list:

It's probably worth looking for a slightly better PSU in that price range, like a CX unit from Corsair.
SSD is an NVME but no DRAM cache, OK for basic use but can choke on moderate read/write.
Haven't seen a review of MOBO, but data suggests a 6+2 phase VRM that should be OK for 6-8 core.

Yeah, I got PCs. The problem for me, would be shipping them over the border to .ca for ya. I'm not really sure of the procedure.

Got plenty of premium parts, and have some gaming rigs in my FS thread.

Maybe I could ship you a CPU/mobo/RAM/SSD combo, Mayne, and you could acquire a PSU (heavy) and a case (big, sometimes heavy) yourself. Not sure, you want a pre-built, you're not up to building yourself?
