Question Looking for Canadian companies that build custom PCs

[Awkward-Elephant8265]

I'd like to buy a pre-built high-performance PC with customizable components and the latest specs: i9-13900K, RTX 4090, liquid cooling, and so on.

There are many options in the US, but since I live in Canada, I would prefer if the PC is built in Canada, to avoid international shipping charges and potential damage during shipping.

Ideally, this will be a physical shop located somewhere between the GTA and Niagara Falls, so that I can come to the shop and pick up the PC in person instead of having it shipped.

After doing an online search, I was only able to find 3 options:

• gamertech.ca - Vaughan, Ontario
• gamingpc.ca - St-Lazare, Quebec
• pcczone.ca - could not figure out where they are located (also, they don't offer an RTX 4090, so not an option for me right now anyway)

Other than that, I could only find companies in the US. Any recommendations for other Canadian companies?

I would buy the parts and have a trusted local PC shop put it together instead of just buying from them.

Even better just build it yourself, a ton of videos online showing how and everything just really goes one way.

Depending on what the PC is used for a 13900K is just overkill for most people. If it's for mainly gaming same thing with a 4090 video card unless your using a 4K monitor.

EDIT if your talking about a full blown custom liquid loop I would probably avoid that since it takes regular maintenance.

What's your budget and monitor resolution?

Thanks for the replies guys! I've actually been building my own PCs since I was a kid, but now I have a full-time job and not a lot of free time, so I would rather just pay someone to do it for me... Especially since a lot of the high-end components are out of stock everywhere, but these companies can get them. The PC will be used mostly for scientific computing, in addition to gaming, video editing, and other stuff, so I do want the best components available. A custom liquid cooling loop is not mandatory, can also be AIO. Budget is up to 7,000 CAD and I'm using a 4K LG 48GQ900 monitor.

If you know of any Canadian stores other than the ones I mentioned, please let me know. Thanks
