Hi,

I live in Montreal, Canada. I am considering ordering pc parts for a new build (thing I should have done a while ago...).

I wonder if prices are higher now? And shipping will most likely be delayed right?

And also...after I have built my parts list in pcpartpicker, do you order each part from different sellers? Or its usually cheaper to order all from the same place?

Read some reviews on them and people say their shipping is very unreliable

Think I’ll use newegg to make sure

Only difference I can see is the Tomahawk board supports RAID and the Gaming-Plus doesn't.

Ok i see.

What about the case? I am hesitating between meshify C (150$ with shipping) or a cheaper option like the cougar Mx330G

I’m wondering if the extra $ for the fractal design is worth it
