  9. * Would recommend new builders stick to MSRP GPUs (r/BAPCSalesCanada), iGPUs (e.g., AMD -G CPUs, Intel non-F CPUs), used GPUs at reasonable prices (e.g., r/CanadianHardwareSwap, Kijiji, FB Marketplace), and subscribing to Discords for stock alerts (e.g., [BAPCSalesCanada](https://discord.com/invite/7562xYt), [StockRadar](https://discord.com/invite/8Xpdwv9C9h), [CA Stock Stalker](https://discord.com/invite/zRWMj3AS9H))
