Does anyone know of a good computer part supplier that ships to Canada. Newegg doesn't ship to Canada. 
I want to try my hand at building a PC. |

| Your best bet is Ncix.com, overnight shipping for cheap and each part is cheap as well... Next up would be tigerdirect.ca |

| I've used tigerdirect, NCIX and Canada Computers, theyre all pretty good. If you end up going with tiger don't expect to get any rebates back quickly if at all :S. And recently I've had some problems with them. They said they shipped my video card but UPS said they didnt get anything from them yet so I had to argue with them before they sent another one :S it was a pain but it got worked out so I guess it could have been worse. |

Add my support to NCIX. Competitive prices, fairly good shipping options, and as a bonus they ship out of BC, so as long as you are also not in BC you don't pay PST (8% in Ontario) on your goods! I recently built a new box shopping exclusively through them.
Tigerdirect advertises some really good deals, but you get PST, and they always seem to use the most expensive shipping. |

True, they used to have really cheap shipping, you used to be able to get next day shipping for like 10 bucks before 9-11 but since then, they seem to have switched alot of their stock to warehouses in the states and now with border crossings it has gotten rediculously expensive |

Timmy[ the turtle ], didn't quite agree with that mother board so we've decided on a better one.
Motherboard
Here are some other parts I've decided on, tell me what you think:
Case and Power Supply *Already Purchased*
Processor
Screen
DVD Drive
RAM
Graphics Card
**** I haven't picked out a hard drive yet. But other than that I think I have everything I need there.
EDIT: I think I found my future hard drive.

Nice stuff, how big of a HDD do you need, I'd assume at least .5TB
http://www.ncix.com/products/productdetail2.php?noheader=1&sku=27144
Seagate makes nice HDD's, have one myself, works as good as you'd expect an HDD to, and its 500GB.
Wow, you picked the exact same dang HDD I did.  Are you stalking me? <_> |

I think it would be best if you looked for some of those motherboard + cpu bundles. Currently, your motherboard, CPU and RAM total to about $500, but there are such bundles that go for less. I wasn't able to find any combos with the specific motherboard you wanted, but if you took the time to look for a good bundle, you could save yourself a whack load of money.
On a side note:

seems like pretty good deal |

| What's better: Nvidia SLI or ATI Crossfire? I found some bundles I like but, they are all ATI. |
