This week [June 14-20], all computer parts prices are a little bit higher because of a little bit dropping of CAD. However, we can always find better deals at any time, here are some nice deals:
CPU/Processor
AMD fans
AMD X3 720 $139.99 with free shipping from newegg.ca
AMD X4 810 $159.00 with free shipping from newegg.ca
NCIX.com has a good bundle deal of 720+Gigybyte 770 motherboard, $209.99 before $10 MIR.
Intel fans
E5200 was hot in past 6 month, but this month its story was over; what's the newer? please see E6300. What's the new?
2M Cache, 2.80 GHz, 1066 MHz FSB vs. 2M Cache, 2.50 GHz, 800 MHz FSB
higher speed is not big deal but the most important thing is E5200 doesn't support Virtualization technology while E6300 do.
Virtualization Technology(VT)--if you are want to use the newest OS "Windows 7", please choose the CPUs which support VT.

Video card
Please note that ATI annouced prices dropping for HD4870, 4850, and also you can find cheaper HD4890
Power supply
one good deals is from Ottawa local store, OCZ ModXStream Pro 700W Power Supply, $99.77 before $30 MIR
the above PSU is for building gaming machine, but for non-gamers, I always recommand:
