In Canada, Canada Computers is your best bet for finding the lowest price on computer parts. NCIX will sometimes be lower then CC, and they also allow a person to request a price match.
Also keep in mind that Canada Computers charges 3% on items so NCIX will figure that into their price match. My only qualm with Canada computer is that they seem to have a number of items out of stock, particularly cases and PSUs.
I purchased roughly half my parts at Canada Computer and the other half from NCIX who had stock of parts I was looking for. I also see Canada Computers upped their flat rate shipping fee (some areas excluded), from $4.99 to $6.99 which means you save a significant amount on shipping. NCIX however will cost a significant amount more depending on the size of the order, etc.
Also keep in mind, Canada Computers is Toronto based (warehouse), while NCIX is Vancouver.
Unfortunately Newegg does not ship to Canada and most times the cost of shipping and the brokerage fees will nullify any savings you might have received.
Also keep in mind that Newegg is a much larger company and is web based whereas Canada Computers up here is both retail and online as well as being a much smaller company. So prices will differentiate between the two as one will get a better stock price from their supplier then the other.

Canada Computers has pretty decent prices. TigerDirect as well. Your best bet to find out is to find other stores and price match. Remember Canada Computers is a pretty good computer store. I did not buy my components from them even though the ones they had were priced the same.

If you do a price match they will look at it and match the price if it's the same product. You have to give them a link so they can see the price.
In Canada I find NCIX and Canada Computers to have the best prices, stuff costs more here, +$40 USD on a QX6700 isn't bad. Also, not paying PST on stuff from NCIX generally makes up for the shipping costs and then some.

Also when you price match. it must not only be the same product but also have the same model #. My dad saw a 14.4V Dewalt Cordless Drill at Home Depot for $149.99, and when he went to Rona (a store like home depot canada based) he asked them if they pricematched and they said yes only if it the same drill model. So they called up home depot and got the model # and everything and they gave him it for $149.99 + they beat it by 10%. In the end what I am trying to say is that 2 stores can have the same product to the consumer eye, but they can vary because they are different model. Since some models are designed for certain stores like an exclusive.
Canada computers does have some good prices, I do half my shopping there. I can't say enough good things about the new Vaughan location, huge bright store, very friendly and experienced staff.
But in general there is only 1 website you have to know when shopping for computer parts in Canada (especially in GTA) - shopbot.ca. It checks almost every comupter store's price (NCIX, DirectCanada, Canada Computers, Infonec, ICCT etc) and shows you the lowest. As of right now the cheapest E6600 is 249.99CAD in DirectCanada, but the shipping is 9.99CAD, when you go a little lower you see E6600 in Infonec for $258CAD which you can just go and pick up. Shopbot is great.
