First pc build

[_Jcheung]

Budget (including currency): 1400-1800$ CAD

Country: Canada (Vancouver) 

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: purely gaming

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 

This is my first PC that I would be building by myself, I want to go for a z490 that supports intel 10th gen. Anyone have good recommendations?

 

my current set up:

cooler master cm 680 advance case

asus m4a785td-v evo

4 sticks of ddr3 8gb ram

noctua nh-u14s heat sink

corsair tx750

msi 1050ti

1tb wd black edition hard drive

500gb wd black edition ssd

also a sound card forgot the brand

I'd harvest a few parts from the system you have now and sell the rest. You've got some pretty nice parts.

I'd also find a used graphics card (the 1070 should easily be had for that amount), and then upgrade to something when the 3000 series comes out.

Since you'll be waiting a few months you'll also have a little more in the budget.

 

Places to save money:

• 1TB SSD
• 16GB of RAM
• Motherboard (I picked one with wifi AX, not sure if you use it)
