So, there is a round about way you can get ahold of the processor, however it'll take some foot work. It's currently $269.99 at Micro Center. If you go through Fivr, you can find people that, for a small fee, will purchase items and then ship them to you. Since you'd be paying with Paypal, you'd technically be covered so they wouldn't rip you off. You wouldn't really save anything, but you wouldn't get gouged like you would from Amazon. Intel's chips take longer to release because they sell through to system builders before they start stocking the public. Unfortunately, Canada being a significantly smaller market, generally sees longer wait times. I don't see how you're getting such a high price from NewEgg? I mean unless you're including tax. It's only a few dollars more than you'd pay from Memory Express, unless you're picking it up. In which case you're paying an extra $23.
