I deal with Canada computers all the time. They appear to have great prices and good advice.
RAM, And SSDs Reached Insane Prices

I'll echo what people have said already.
Canada Computers is a fantastic place to buy computer parts - with knowledgeable people and lots of stock.
However, it's also good to check Amazon from time to time. Sometimes certain vendors offer certain items below market value.
I recently had to buy a 1TB MicroSDXC card, and everything on Canada Computers was wildly overpriced ($250-$300).
I ended up getting it on Amazon for $130 plus taxes.

I’ve been wanting to build a new PC for a while now, and I was honestly shocked at how much prices have gone up compared to when I checked last yearI guess my new PC is gonna have to wait for a while lol
Amazon black Friday sale was your last chance. I got my 2Tb samsung NVME for $179.99, then they went up to $369 to none available.
Yup - learned my lesson I hope prices will go down soon as I really want to get a PC in the future
I am replying to you on my Dell XPS 8300 that I bought in 2012 for around $1100. Still works great. Had to replace hard drive and Ram but that is it. Only problem is it can't be upgraded to Windows 11. It came with Windows 7 and am running Windows 10 now.
Could be 2028.Yup - learned my lesson I hope prices will go down soon as I really want to get a PC in the future
This is a pretty good deal, https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Combo...LWUPI-UIrv6HI9FcpTkTCMGvy6KA&utm_content=Deal
That's an old CPU, good enough for light gaming, internet browsing, and video. I'm into a powerhouse machine that game, edit video, and run AI apps.
Prices are only projected to go up unfortunatelyYup - learned my lesson I hope prices will go down soon as I really want to get a PC in the future
Canada Computers had some good deals on Boxing Day. After that, yes, the prices have gone up.
Looks like the AI bubble is about to burst. The cost to maintain those Data centres isn't sustainable. Then hopefully RAM prices come down..
Signs Open Ai is running out of money; they are resorting to advertising for money.

There will be a bust. It's obvious. Those old enough to remember the dot com bubble bust of 2000 will understand. Will it be bigger??
On computer side I am now 100% in the cloud. I can switch my device anytime. But I don't play games either...
NVIDIA won't make any new GPUs in 2026, and they have limited production of the 50 series GPUs. So the price of GPU have risen. You'll have to try the used markets. Good thing I got my RTX 5070 for $749, they are now selling for at least $900.
That's actually crazy, unbelievable that it's come to that, running out of stock for an entire year of ram/ssds/gpus two months into the year is just unreal.
