I am building my computer for the first time soon. I know what parts im going to get, so all I need know now is the best place to buy (in Canada). And when I say "best" I mean, good stock of products, good customer service and most important of all, price. The problem is that im in Canada and if I wanted to buy something from the US and ship it to Canada it would almost 2x the taxes because of the border (NO THANKS!) so I need to find stores that are located in canada and go from there. I already know about tigerdirect.ca and ncix.com, but what I am finding is that smaller stores seem to be the places where the prices are fair and the customer service is great. So don?t be shy to sagest the smaller stores to. I live in Toronto and the parts that im getting is

AMD 64 3000
ASUS KV8 deluxe
(Probably BFG, but im open to others) 6800 GT
(Probably kingston but im open to others) 512MB DDR 400
and a wave master case

thx from the help

What city do you live in?

 
Genitech Computers, and Canada computers. Toronto has a location on College/Spadina. Genitech has performance parts for cheaper (www.genitechcomputers.com, I know the owner).
Canada Computers (www.canadacomputers.com) has a few locations in Mississauga, TO, Markham etc.

You may also want to check out Immax Computers on College St, the only retailer in Eastern Canada that sells QUIET Nexus Fans.
