So a couple of days ago I decided I should build my new computer. After looking around on the internet and at advice through this site and others I have picked out a rough draft of what I think is the best rig for my money. The problem that I am having is that, to my understanding, newegg does not deal with canada. Thus I have a problem. All the advice that is given or builds shown are from newegg. I was wondering where a canadian should buy his computer parts from. I think Lu Computers has had the best prices so far and they operate in canada. With that in mind is this set up the best I can get for the money I want to spend (originally around 1000 but with moniter and OS it came to a little more).
