Are pcpartspicker prices just in the us or do they adjust to Canada automatically? Also do they automatically add taxes or do I have to pay extra?

In most provinces you have to pay HST for things purchased online, I think in other provinces you have to pay GST/PST instead of HST, but I live in an area where HST is the form of purchase tax, I wouldn't know much.

Pretty much nothing on the internet has additional taxes in the US, tobacco products do and some things have taxes for certain states

The only time I've paid tax for an online purchase was when I bought mass effect 3 on origin.
