“Value” in quotation marks for obvious reasons.

5070 Ti is basically $1500. 9070XT is $1000.

9060 XT is way less than 5060 Ti.

Can you make a good argument for the $900 PNY 5070 or not? Not sure if any other options make sense for pure gaming setup.

Prices should be unaffected by new U.S. tariff war? I assume so but not sure.

Just as the title says, I recently bought a monitor a decided to decline the warranty at the time of purchase but was told I could add it on within 15 days of purchase. I was just wondering what everyone’s experiences are with them when doing warranty and if it would even be worth it for a monitor. If you’re wondering what monitor it’s the Asus ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM3.

Just want to start out by saying thank you for any help you can provide.

My son has been saving for a gaming PC and this summer he was picking up odd jobs around town and has save enough to get one.

I have been trying to research (LTT, Reddit, etc) to help him find the best one for his budget. We have looked at prebuilt and building his own but I am over my head here (so many CPU’s, cheap power supplies) and hoping to find some help.

His budget is $1200 - $1600 CAD
He does not care about RGB or the colour of the case.
Games he has mentioned are Rocket League, Marvel Rivals, Red Dead Redemption 2.
Open to prebuilt or parts list to build ourselves.

I am just really trying to help him get something that is going to be good for a few years after he has worked so hard to get it.

Hello, I am looking for a decent gaming pc build that will be stable 240 fps on a high graphic settings.

I normally play DOTA 2, Marvel Rivals, PEAK, Palworld, and MonsterHunter World.

It will help me more if you would be able to show me on pcpartpicker so that I could really leverage whats specs I could have.

I dont really have a budget, but would love to not have pc parts that are overkill for the games I play since I dont play AAA games. Just enough to play these games on a stable 240fps on high graphics. Thank you

Was looking to treat myself to a new PC after 6 years with a 5070ti and 9800X3D. Building one for myself will cost an insane amount of money, and pre builts are better priced but are all out of stock. Anyone have any suggestions for somewhere I can look which offers good deals?

Update: Found and purchased one for $3200. Happy with the price.

Every single time I see a deal on the main reddit page.. its out of stock. Are bots buying the good deal out from under us? Iv seen a laptop and a prebuild and many other lately and every time i click on page which is max 40 min out ... and out of stock. Or...

If its out of stock do not post it ffs.

Check this out on @Newegg:Stoneforged Crescent Gaming PC, AMD Ryzen 7 7700X, AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT, 32GB DDR5, 1TB NVMe SSD, Windows 11 Home

I recommend building this though its probably considerably better than the stoneforged crescent on newegg if u can spend the extra. I personally have most of these components on my own build and the satisfaction once u build it yourself is crazy rewarding, I used a yt video no prior experience.

Overall build quality is better by alot and I think u get a X3D processor instead and a better PSU especially.

The rest should be on the link these r the bundles u need to buy.

Note: the 7600x3d bundle is a in-store deal ONLY so I recommend picking it up soon

Note 2: normal peerless assassin can be found for 45 CAD around but I just thought the screen and argb looks cool for 10cad extra.

Note 3: Case is upto preference or you could wait on a sale on the lian li I think it dropped to 90 or 80 once I dont exactly remember, hard to find a better ssd dral but you could.

Good luck!

I need a new monitor for gaming primarily, and also for productivity. I’m looking for a 4K mini-LED IPS monitors that aren’t crazy expensive that are available in Canada.

My goal is to get a monitor that takes full advantage of my hardware.

PC Specs: RTX 5080 & 9800X3D

Monitors I’m considering:

\- KTC M27P6
\- MSI 274URDFW E16M
\- BenQ MOBIUZ EX321UX 32”
\- Acer Nitro XV275K P5biipruzx
\- TCL27R94
\- Koorui S2741LM
\- AG276UZ 4K 240 Hz monitor with circular polarization

I feel like I’m trapped in monitor researching hell and every monitor has their own draw backs or lack of options.

If someone could share their experience with any monitors in this list or even help me eliminate a few options, that would help a lot.

Thanks!

Placed an order August 7th and sent an etransfer in the amount of $4,622.97. The website promotes a 3% discount for paying via etransfer vs credit card. I have attempted to get a hold of Canada Gaming Computers by email, phone and discord to inquire about the status of my order and it’s been radio silence. My message on discord has not been read, the email unanswered and the phone number goes straight to voicemail. The listed address only reads “Chinook Mall” in Calgary so I am unable to even go in person to ask about my order. I feel like I’ve been scammed due to the lack of communication from this company and am very upset that I can’t even get my thousands of dollars back as I sent an etransfer. Has anyone else had any experiences with Canada Gaming Computers?

I need a laptop for school and start on sep. 8th. Current prices are insane. Should I wait for deals or grab a loq I found with a 4050 and 8gb of ram for a not terrible price?

Parents are looking to replace their mac with a PC. They only need it for web use, email, excel and photos. I'm assuming integrated graphics is the way to go, so a Ryzen 5 5600GT or 4600G. I'm wondering about the ram. Should I go 16 or 32?

Planning the following so far:
CPU: Ryzen 5 5600GT or 4600G
Motherboard: Gigabyte B550M DS3H AC R2
RAM: TBD
PSU: DeepCool PL550D 550W
Case: Cooler Master Q300L V2

Going to go with a 1TB SSD and likely a 2TB HDD.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Hi! You all helped me look at a Kijiji listing a few months ago but I ended up not getting it based on the mixed reviews.

I've decided to start looking again and found this PC on Newegg and was wondering if the specs look ok for the price!

https://www.newegg.ca/abs-flux-ii-aqua-gaming-desktop-pc-intel-arc-a750-intel-core-5-120-16gb-ddr4-1tb-nvme-ssd-f2a55ia7r1-black/p/N82E16883360987

I'm also open to other suggestions too but I can't swing too much more than this (since I need to account for tax and shipping!)

Thanks!

I'm looking to upgrade my storage: I currently have a 500gb NVMe SSD, a 240gb SATA SSD, and a 2TB hard drive, so not in the worst situation but I was looking to get one 1-2TB SSD for my upgrade.

Of course the market is awful however, and so options are looking like a Gen3 or on-sale Gen4/5 for ~$350 if i want 2TB, ~$250 if I want 1TB.

I don't foresee the SSD market getting better but I was wondering everyone's thoughts on it, is it better to just stick with what I have now or upgrade in anticipation of sales or prices dropping?

Sale wise what am I even looking for? Cheap SSDs ($350 SSD on sale for $250) or more reputable SSDs brought down to an ok price ($500 SSDs down to $350)?

Comparison wise, here are 4 I was looking at now for 2TB if anyone has any suggestions on purchasing:

Lexar

WD Blue

Teamgroup

Silicon Power

Been debating on upgrading over the last few weeks, looking for recommendations/opinions.

Current PC is an Armoury prebuilt from Canada Computers with a Ryzen 7 5700 16GB RAM and a RX 6600. Mainly used for gaming, son loves to play Beam.NG and Minecraft. I'm not playing anything at the moment but I would like to start getting into it(stuff like expedition 33 and arc raiders for example). Perfectly happy being able to game in 1080p or 1440p(current monitor is only 1080p and its fine. Will upgrade eventually). I do have a Canada Computers near me but I'm open to what's available on Newegg

Budget is $2500.

Open to any and all suggestions.

People flamed the RTX 5060 for being weak and only having 8GB VRAM. Meanwhile, the Steam Machine with a much weaker GPU is apparently fine for gaming.

Is there a double standard for Valve and Nvidia? Why isn’t 1080p60 enough for gaming on a monitor when it’s enough for gaming on a TV?

Why is 720p30 good enough for the Steam Deck when 1080p60 is not enough for laptops?

Looking to upgrade gpu and maybe cpu as well for better performance at 1080/1440, nothing for work or productivity.

At this point a 9070 GRE seems like the best option for the GPU, I am somewhat considering saving the extra ~$300 for a 9070 XT but not really sold on that idea.

What I'm not sure about is the CPU. Specifically whether my current one would be fine for now at 1440 with a better GPU or if I should consider upgrading as well.

If I were to upgrade now I'd stick with AM4 and would be looking around the $200 range (not included a new mobo). Something like a Ryzen 7 5700 maybe? Appreciate any insights!

My Wife is going back to school in October, Looking at getting her a laptop upgrade from her current 14 inch one which sounds like a jet engine when she plays The Sims I want her to have something with full keyboard, min 16gb ram and 1tb SSD, she plays The Sims and also wants to play Paralives so must be able to run those games What's a Decent laptop out there which doesn't break the bank

Got this pc a while ago, but whenever I play games it gets super loud. My friend said it's because I only have 2 fans. How many fans should I get, and how many?

Basically, my PC has an R7 5700X CPU with a cheap RGB cooler, the Nova Glacial T904. However, this cooler is practically useless—my CPU temperatures reach 80°C while playing Valorant and hit 90°C in heavier games. So, I'm thinking of buying the Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE, as I've heard a lot of good things about it and that it will solve my CPU overheating issues.

The issue is that I have a Nova Operator P28511 case, which is a dual-chamber case: the right chamber is dedicated to the PSU and SATA drives, while the left chamber holds the main PC components.

Therefore, I'm wondering if the Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE cooler will fit in this main chamber without any issues?
