i want to buy a gaming pc but..

Devileyes · Mar 23, 2015

Hello, so as the title suggests i would like to buy a gaming pc but i can't pay for it in one payment due to my university expenses.
so my question is, anyone knows of a site in which i can finance a pc for for a year or more in canada? without interest is preferable, thanks in advance.

edit: i would also appreciate it if i can customize the pc myself, instead of having it prebuilt like dell.

ibuypower.com does appear to offer billmelater via Paypal as a payment option. You will have to seek credit approval from Paypal though.

You could just buy some parts, wait a while, and buy the remaining parts at a later date

the thing is i don't want to build the parts myself, even though i have done it before but i would rather have it professionally built, besides financing works better for me..

Really depends on the cash available there. Not much point being a student without a useful computer.

IBuyPower is not exactly the best company around. They are in it to make a buck, and some of their config prices are crazy. (Think $70 upgrades when the price difference between the two components is less then twenty) But it is a common request at Tom's to make recommendations from boutique builders or pre-builts.

So you will be paying interest on top of retailer markup. Not going to be ideal, but the best way to get the performance now. Just like buying anything else on credit.

I wouldn't necessarily count out Dell XPS or Alienware. Very expensive, but still configurable. They also offer many Universities student discounts. Lenovo to a lesser extent. ASUS and MSI don't offer much configuration. Not sure about Acer, Toshiba, HP/Compaq/EMachine these days. Their quality has always been questionable.

do you know any site for canada exclusively? instead of being in USA because they charge too much for importing.
