Now seeing as i'm in canada, is there a site that has the same prices or close to the same as newegg in quality?
What would you recommend as a top quality card for ~100-150$?
i'm asking beause a card like i have now which is pretty shitty still runs at about 100$ in my town. http://www.staples.ca/ENG/Catalog/ca...AffixedCode=WW

Yes, the videocard is that bad. Videocards do a huge portion of the work in today's games. That 8400 GS is worse than the years old 6600 GT.
I would buy this from Tiger Direct's Canadian site:

GeForce 8800 GS, $135 with a $30 rebate so it's really $105. You won't find a better deal.
