I've had NCIX pricematch Newegg.ca prices, so yes, in my experience, they do pricematch. Online only, in store is a different story. Just order online and pick up in store though.

You could have did better if you had listened to my advice... but whatever... it's your money, not mine.



Could have saved another $40+.

JMV,

Will all that fit in the Antec 900? The Noctuna cooler is massive and the video card is pretty big too. I originally picked a mid tower case but had to go with a full tower one.

I have no idea it didn't fit. I'll double check with NCIX though. I'd like to use the Antec 900 again since I have one already. Just curious, what for do you need all that power for?
