check amazon.ca as well, sometimes they have deals along with same day prime shipping.

Observations:

- NewEgg's pick up hours are absolutely horrible. I dread buying from them the most because of this, but when they are the only one that has the deal I need, I just have to bite the bullet.

- Memory Express and Canada Computers generally seems on par to me. I find that CC normally is a touch cheaper, but ME will almost always price match, so it is a non-issue.


use amazon and also https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/products/

you can check what the cheapest place online is and the price of a part over the past 1-2 years to find the best deal

forgot to add, neweggs ebay store has sales not on the newegg site from time to time. just make sure its the neweggcanada store, fast shipping as well
selection is somewhat limited, but i was able to get my ram for $30 cheaper than amazon or any of the local stores if u can wait for sales

just getting some new peripherals...

picked up a logitech g703 lightspeed mouse and g613 lightspeed keyboard

any recommendations for a 1440p 144hz monitor?

Mr.Money 12-19-2018 02:52 PM
im gonna say you should go for the 240hz display.....144 already rocks for fps but i heard 240 is even smoother.

240hz 1080p over a 1440p 144hz?

SkinnyPupp 12-19-2018 04:24 PM
90 Hz is already approaching diminishing returns. That's what I aim for with performance.. 90-144 FPS as much as possible. Aside from that, frame time consistency is more important

Jmac 12-19-2018 04:59 PM
There are 4K 144 Hz monitors out now. That’s probably what I’d look into

Tegra_Devil 12-19-2018 05:03 PM
Ya. Those are rediculously expensive.... I was eying 1440p 144hz or 4k 60hz

SkinnyPupp 12-19-2018 05:08 PM
Just make sure it has some form of variable refresh or there's little point. Either gsync or freesync

I think it is about 110fps at 1440p

I'd like to pick out the parts and have them build the PC for me as I suck at assembling things.
In addition to everything already mentioned, look up your parts on shopbot.ca as well. It is a great resource to find other online retailers that you can use to apply for price match at your preferred store. Might save you a couple of bucks.

i would if you like competitive gaming with first person shooters,even with a 2080ti some games barely make 190 fps at 240hz..



its all up to you how competitive you are for 240hz,i see how some people play with 144hz with slow reaction time and i wouldn't even bother with response time if you saw how bad their game sense is...Haha.

Is anyone looking for a G4560 processor? I have a brand new one that's still sealed. Looking for $120

Seems like a solid price? MSI Radeon RX 570 DirectX 12 RX 570 ARMOR 8G OC 8GB 256-Bit GDDR5, regular $280 on for $180 https://www.ebay.ca/itm/172963889755

I'm running 2x 7950 in SLI. Would this be a good replacement for them? The screen I'm using supports Freesync (the 7950s do not).

RTX 2060 right in between the GTX 1070 Ti and the 1080.
$349

$145 for a 1TB WD Blue SSD. This is very cheap, right? Back when it was BF sales, a 1TB Samsung Evo 860 was going for $179. Now, I think Evo 860 is a touch faster than this WD Blue, but still, $35 is cheaper by quite a bit.

twitchyzero 12-26-2018 02:32 PM
wd uses toshiba chips so it's reliable too, i have a 1TB in the m2 ff

get the 2TB for 359.99

asian_XL 12-26-2018 05:17 PM
the newer motherboards will still support SATA M.2?

I don't have a M.2, so I wonder if NVME and SATA share the same connectors, they don't right?

twitchyzero 12-26-2018 05:24 PM
m.2 is just a connector type
usually SATA/NVMe are both supported

like how USB-C is just a connector but there's many different bandwidth types (ie. Thunderbolt 3)

!Aznboi128 12-26-2018 05:48 PM
To add, as m.2 is just a connector type there's no speed advantage to using an m.2 SATA SSD vs 2.5" SATA SSD. The only thing is fewer cables to run but performance should be identical.
