though it's some of the parts are from different sites, i would only like to order it from newegg.ca

So strange ... Newegg.ca doesn't have any of the high-end AMD cards in stock. :(

Just throwing it out there but if you live near a filtech computer you can use them for price matching. They have great prices, I pm Canada computers with them and got corsair vengeance 2x4gb for $48 and an asus v-lk for $125.
