Yes they do pricematch Newegg.ca Both my roommate and I have succesfully pricematched from there. Use Pricecanada.ca to find the lowest prices on things. I've never had NCIX refuse a PM before and I've used some pretty obscure sites I found on Pricecanada.

As for the cost of a Core i7 build I just priced one out the other day for $1800 (monitor, case, heatsink, cpu, mobo, 6gb ram, dvd drive, 1TB HDD, PSU... the whole computer except keyboard/mouse). The processor isn't very expensive compared to similar CPUs (Q9550 or Q9650) the only reason you are paying more is because you need to upgrade the socket and the X58 mobos are pretty expensive still.
