Thanks for advice.

They do ship to Canada but $100 US shipping. Ouch.

Thing is the starting computer has a 1660 and @ 1150 U.S it could actually still be the cheaper option.

The specs look decent for the price.

It was like $50 shipping for me and im in california and so are they lol, so it definitely could be worse.

I think all together I saved about $400 on just the parts alone.

Helps that I live like 15 mins from the border though. I'm assuming you're in Metro Van?

Haven't played it but DBrunski said lag (both ping and rubberbanding) has been fixed in open beta. Nice to hear, I would have thought it was gonna be worse lol.

the ping in general was lower i went from like steady 150 to 110 range which isnt a huge improvement still kind of shit but it did seem smoother the little bit i played on open beta
my fps also seemed much more stable so i think they worked out some stability issues

I have a "gaming" laptop too, but it literally collects dust. Don't have the space for a pc, but once we move next year it'll be on the to do list. Also I have a high end brand new qled and series x, my gaming experience is fine 😂

You can do what I did when I built my gaming PC (when the borders open back up):

- Buy off an American website
- Get it shipped to a box/locker at the border
- Go down to the border, grab your package and fill up your car with some cheap gas

:D

Ya in Pocco. Fairly close for me.

Have been wanting to get a PO locker for awhile. Wish the borders would open up.

I am fully vaccinated, let me in please!

Maxroll added a D2 build creator.

Very cool, works well. Don't think we've ever had a proper one for D2 in the past.

Oh my. Is this like a theory craft planner, or a public ranked profile thing like D3 had

The former, perhaps they will add the latter after the game comes out.
