Hello, first time poster, long time Linus fan here!
After a lot of saving up, I finally have 1200$ I don't have to spend on rent, food, car repairs, etc. and can finally buy the computer I've always wanted.
My budget will be 1200$, I can go over if it's for taxes and whatnot, but I would like to be in around 1200$ Canadian.
The current components I have 'decided' on (completely set to change depending on your advice) are as follows:
- AMD Ryzen 5 3600 (was going to go 3600x, but from what I've read it's not worth the extra 30$?)
- 16GB 3200MHz ram (Gskill or Corsair if it ever goes on sale)
- GTX 1660 Super 6GB (I have no knowledge when it comes to GPUs, this is what was recommended by a Canada Computers employee for my price range...)
- Crucial 1TB SSD (This has already been purchased as I got it on sale quite cheap.
- Corsair 550W Bronze Rated PSU
None of these components are a must as it's all just based off a talk with a Canada Computers employee and one Reddit post.
Please recommend me a motherboard (preferably with WIFI capabilities) and a better graphics card if needed. As well as any changes you could see me needing.
I would like to stick to AMD if possible as the path to upgrading in the future seems much more reasonable and fluid.
I will be doing video editing, music production, photo editing, gaming at 1080-1440p and running lots of emulators for older GameCube, PS2 and Xbox games.
Thank you!
