Hello I’m new here, my name is Moses, I recently bought the Nitro 50 N50-600 from BestBuy for $999CAD, I’ve had it for over a month now and I can’t return it, I tried but they won’t let me. I currently live in Niagara Falls Ontario and I want to buy a new pc because this one can’t even run Titan Fall 2 properly on the Lowest graphics and I’m unable to upgrade the graphics card from the GTX 1050 2GB to a GTX 1660 since the case is too small and I can’t change the case because the motherboard is “a special motherboard” (B36H4-AD).   So i lost money, I tried selling it on Kijiji nothing worked, so now I’m just saving up until I get $1500 and buy a new one. 

Is there any places nearby or websites that I can go to, to buy a pc with a budget of $1500-$1700 that is Prebuilt and way better than mine? I don’t know how to build one and none of my friends do either. 

Thank you.     +I’m never going to Best Buy again.

A 1050 should be able to run games alright even with only 2GB of VRAM. Before buying a whole new system again I would check your other components first to see if something such as slow ram is bottlenecking you. Then you could just buy a new component and slap it in without spending a lot of money despite the fact you dont know how to build. Thats alright though because its mostly pretty easy as long as you have some common sense. Im sure the other members of this forum would be glad to help you aswell.

And you'll never learn if you don't try. My current build is the first one I've made, it's really not too difficult and there's plenty of resources for it.

I’m just afraid I might break something, and I’m not sure what I’m supposed to buy, and from where.

https://pcpartpicker.com/ Helps you find parts that are compatible together and it's easy to share a created list here on the forums.

As for breaking things, it's easy to avoid if you have common sense. Don't drop the stuff, don't expose them to excessive heat or liquid, etc.

See I would do that but my PC Case is too small for me to upgrade it in any way, and for me to get a new case, I must buy a new motherboard, processor and then at that point, there’s money lost and I won’t gain anything. 

My mistake was buying this PC in the first place. 

Currently I'm gonna set my budget for $1500-$1700CAD. I just need to know where to buy the parts, and which parts, I was thinking of atleast having

-Intel Core i5 9600k

-GTX 1660 Ti 6GB

 

Which I assume is already around $750ish, so with the rest of the money, where could I find the other parts? And which parts to get? There’s this local PC store near me it’s called Canada Computers (St Catherines), issue is I must know exactly what I want because the workers there are clueless and have no idea what they’re doing.
