      Do you or anyone else have suggestions on where to go to buy parts or premade PCs for Canada? I’ve been trying to upgrade for years but I honestly just don’t know where to buy from anymore.

        Depending on where you live, check memory express. They only have 10(?) locations nationwide, but i’m pretty sure they’re in all the big cities

        For Canada, unfortunately no. Unless Microcenter is available up there, that’s my go-to these days. You could maybe try them out online, I dunno if they’d ship to you.

              Thanks, i hadn’t heard of Canada computers.

              Interesting, is best buy generally considered a good place to buy from? I guess I just kind assumed big chain = overpriced and unreliable.

                BestBuy is generally overpriced. Sometimes good deals on peripherals and their returns policy is generous.

                Odd that you have never heard of Canada Computers. If you are in Quebec, they are called Ordinateurs Canada.

                Depending on where you live, you might have a Memory Express nearby.

                  Well tbh i probably have heard of them before at some point but when you search up “where to buy a new pc canada” it’s tough to tell whats legit or not.

                  My last pc was made by a local place that went out of business and I never really upgraded it or anything after that.

          Microcenter has two locations in the entire western half of the country. There are tens of millions of people in the US who live more than 1,000 miles from the nearest Microcenter. Every time I’ve gone to their stupid website they’ve said they can’t ship any of the things I want. Microcenter isn’t a real thing.

        My GTX 970 is still going strong, I can wait another three years until prices go down.

        I’ve been telling myself that for years now
