    You are gonna have to battle this one out. Bottom line is they at the least need to give you fair market value to replace the card. As you cannot know the condition of 2nd hand purchases they should give you what it will take to purchase your card new from a retailer.
     
    Now if that card can be found new for say 400 instead of 500 that is acceptable, but that isnt the case. 
     
    I would review their warranty terms
    .. I am betting they dont have any fine print saying they can depreciate the value of your damaged components.
     
    Like I thought. You are entitled to full msrp of those items.
     
    Warranty 1. Warranty Coverage

    Every user of Deepcool products purchased from a local Deepcool reseller or retailer is protected by our warranty policy.
    Except where prohibited by applicable local law, this warranty is limited to the original purchaser and is non-transferable.

    2. Warranty Period

    Deepcool products carry a warranty period of one to ten (1-10) years according to the model. Consult your reseller/retailer for more information.

    3. Disclaimer

    Under no condition shall Deepcool be held liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential damages due to improper installation, misuse, or usage that fail to comply with product specifications and instructions, or due to unauthorized modifications.

    4. Warranty Service

    All users should submit warranty claims to the original reseller/retailer. This may require the user to provide the original purchasing receipt. A user who has lost the original purchasing document may submit your inquiry to Deepcool directly. Submit your inquiry to us and specify the product name, serial number and pictures if necessary.

    I'd go down to a B350 motherboard and SATA SSD to get a GTX 1080, but it's your choice.
     
    the PSU is meh quality, but it should provide enough wattage.

    Hey your build is a lot similar to my!
    I would get a better power supply like the EVGA 550w G2 or G3
    I would also get a 3000mhz frequency RAM, for better performance.

    AsRock boards are the best boards for Ryzen. Update the UEFI to the newest when you receive it and you'll see boosts in performance.
     
    Sorry for being $100 over, but you get better performance. You can overclock the spit out of 1700 to hit 1700x-1800x performance easy

    Good build, but definitely could use some improvements. If you are looking at 2,000 CAD, definitely don't go below 80+ gold efficiency in the PSU. Also, just to clarify, there won't only be a 256GB M.2, but also a 2TB WD Black drive? Your PCPartPicker list is conflicting with what you said earlier.

    Better to buy a 1700 and OC, it has a very similar OC ceiling to an 1800X.  Better PSU and a GTX 1080 are also huge improvements over what you had.  
    I suggest also  buying the ultrawide, 2 TB HDD and a K70/strafe RGB

    Hey, that's a 2, not a 3 for your budget!  Well, then... Gimme a second.

     
    Overall, I went slightly over budget, but I believe that 'tis justified.

    Processor: This, when overclocked, is just as good as the rest of R7 lineup
    Cooler:  this is the cheapest 240mm cooler, but if wanna save some dough, Noctua has some similarly-performing, less elegant, much uglier air coolers.
    MB: I feel this represents the best value
    Memory: Fast, relatively cheap, 32 Gigs
    Storage:  Great SSD, although it can be downgraded to suit your monetary needs; I honestly don't know all too much about HDDs, but I vaguely recall at some point hearing that these're good, so I've no qualms with it
    Video Card: Why not?  It fits in the budget, and is one heck of a beastly card (if you can't see yourself ever possibly using this many horseys, and want some savings, downgrade to a 1080 or 1070)
    Case: Fits your stuff, looks nice, good reputation
    Power Supply: Good ratings and reviews, has enough juice for ya, and is efficient
    OS: Well, there's no other option (which makes me sad)
    Monitor: It's what y'want, and any real upgrade massively increases price
    Keyboard: Good keyboard (I have one, plus the reviews are very positive), but keyboards are subjective, so you do you
     
    Actually, that is roughly in the same ballpark as your full build (peripherals, components, etc.), so if you're willing to spend that much, go for it.  I'll formulate a 2,000 CAD build, too, though.

    Alrighty then, I've redone my build, but without all the extras.  This'll be cheaper, and I'm not gonna explain my reasoning as much as last time -- I'm tired and wanna sleep.

    If you wanna get a bit more performance, while staying within 2,000 CAD, upgrade the cooler (although this is fine for your purposes), upgrade the HDD, possibly upgrade the SSD (this is about as good as you get without going NVME), or potentially upgrade the case.
