a) NewEgg is extremely fast to ship. Well worth the savings, and even if you get a bad part (which could happen from this other guy as well), they'll usually cross-ship a replacement. VERY MUCH worht saving $700... even if it is only CAD. ;-)
b) MSI boards are decent, but I would highly recommend getting an ASUS A8N-SLI Premium (premium only because you were looking at MSIs platinum. I have an A8N-SLI standard and find it to be plenty... even using RAID onboard with SATA). On NewEgg, the ASUS board is only US$7 more. Well worth it I promise.
Otherwise, good luck man. I understand being in a rush to get your fix, but NewEgg is worth a couple days wait (you'll wait a day or two anyways) and the money savings. w00t!
NewEgg ftw!
