    Newegg lost all credibility with me years ago.

      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.

        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

        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.

    “if someone’s going to scalp it might as well be us” seems to have been the GPU mantra since the 20x0 series.

    Bunch of greedy ass geezers. I’ve been watching the MSI RTX 5090 Liquid Suprim SOC. Announced at 2,499. B&H initially had it at that price, then 2,789, then 2,799, then back to 2,789. US MSI store also went to 2,799. Haven’t seen a price yet on NewEgg.

    Edit: Just noticed that I’d said “4090” instead of “5090”. This has been corrected. Apologies for the typo.
