This. Plus they charge $310 for that i7 processor when you can buy it on newegg for 280. And 200 for memory. You can get 12GB of memory on newegg for cheaper. Then again you'll probably never need that much memory anyway.

I'd recommend a Corsair PSU. Or Antec, Seasonic, or Xigamentec. Don't rely on a shitty brand PSU or the ones that come with cases bundled unless it's a reputable brand.

The i7 on newegg.ca is actually SLIGHTLY more expensive.

American prices just seem to be extremely better than Canadian ones. I have compared newegg to tigerdirect (.ca, not .com) and they seem to typically be priced the same across the board.

What's your opinions on the "performance" of the case...would you say it's a good case for airflow? Do you think it would solve any overheating problems I currently have with my case? And what exactly should I be looking for in a PSU? I am not familiar with much about PSU's other than their wattage
