My recent intel build was a i5 6500, asus z170-a montherboard, hyper-x 16gb ram, patriot 500gb ssd, corsair 200 case,corsiar 500psu, 2x 2tb seagate hd
total was 1.2k with taxes. tried to get everything on sale. | already have my items already, everything bought

not familiar with the software you are using, but try downloading core temp and viewing the temp from there

Need a new (WiFi) router at home since the current one is too shxtty unstable, and NCIX just happens to have 2 seemingly good options to consider:
pre-Black Friday special -- $200 Linksys WRT1900ACS Dual Core 1.6GHZ 512MB DDR3 RAM AC1900 Open Source Router - WRT1900ACS-CA - NCIX.com
same model, but it is a refurb unit -- $160 Linksys WRT1900ACS-RM Dual Core 1.6GHZ 512MB RAM AC1900 Open Source Wireless Router - Recertified - WRT1900ACS-RM - NCIX.com
Generally speaking, I am not particularly concerned about buying refurb stuff for myself, and my experience with refurbs has generally been positive. I'd say close to 90% of my refurb items have been trouble-free. But since the router is almost a mission critical piece of hardware, I'd prefer to have a little more reliability than usual. Then again, $40 off on a $200 purchase is a significant amount.
Does anyone have any previous experience with Linksys / Cisco refurbs?

With how the exchange rate is, is it even possible to get a decent gaming computer anymore for $1000?

That's a mITX build that I'm thinking of downgrading to from my current GTX 1080.
This one is more budget oriented, but will have the same performance levels. Core i5-6500 3.2GHz Quad-Core, Radeon RX 480 4GB GAMING X, N200 MicroATX Mini Tower - System Build - PCPartPicker Canada

I just finished building a build for my girlfriend consisting of this
used GTX970 and 250gb SSD from razor ramon for $350
used bitfenix white pandora mATX case for $70 from red flag deals (ABSOLUTELY A FUCKING STEAL!!)
8gb ram for $35 from red flag deals
Bitfenix modular 750w for $60 from red flag deals (BRAND NEW!!!! still in plastic wrap)
OS for $30 kinguin.net
CPU quad core i5-4xxx haswell model from hardware canucks for $165 (BRAND NEW!! , guy just received it from RMA and the sticker on the box is not even ripped!! good steal!)
mATX motherboard that supports m2 from ncix for $140 (very hard to get a LGA 1150 motherboard that supports m2 that is cheap used.... that is mATX as well haha)
total for everything is $850.00 that can handle any game I slap on
you really have to dig around the used market website, craigslist, hardware canucks, and redflagdeals to get a really good savings
if i bought this all new, would cost me $1150 - $1200+
the case is a friggin steal, guy is local from vancouver and is a reviewer for a known computer part website and only tested the case for a couple of days, feels brand new.... really gotta update yourself and check the sale section every morning or night incase someone else buys it

Anyone recommend building a new PC off of New Egg, seems like they have some decent black friday deals, but I'm thinking if the exchange rate would kill those savings.
Better to buy in Canada or no?

Just multiply the price by 1.34, but why not shop NewEgg.ca or NCIX?

newegg sometimes have better deals than ncix.
newegg has a canadian website and you can pickup in richmond as well so save the shipping cost.

Use this build instead. https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/RmjK2R
Don't need to get a nice motherboard if you're running a locked CPU. Any basic ones will do.
Have the same one in my brother's system right now with an i3-6100, and it works perfectly.
BTW, if you're willing to stretch some money out, I have a GTX 1080 I'm trying to sell for $700.

Waiting for an 8GB RX480 to go on some crazy sale for BF  so painful how Canadians get shafted for a lot of PC parts for BF. I see plenty more good deals on the r/buildapcsales versus the Canadian version
