Budget (including currency): $1,600 - $2,000 CAD

Country: Canada

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Rainbow Six: Siege, CS:GO, Indie games. NO AAA TITLES

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):
I am hoping to buy this tower within the next week or so. The only other peripheral I need are a cheap(er) 144hz monitor, and a cheap 60hz as a second monitor. One thing I noticed is that my PCU is lacking a 4-pin ATX power connector, which is needed for overclocking. If anyone can link a good PCU which meets the requirements, let me know. I also don't feel the need to buy a CPU cooler, as the stock Ryzen one should be fine.

Its only needed for very heavy overclocking (like competitive type stuff) so you should be fine without one.

 

You could save money (like $100) by getting a b450 or b550 motherboard instead of an expensive x570, or around $60 if you get the b450 tomahawk max which is a great b450 board.

I would get a 5700xt instead of the 2060 super. You can find some cheaper. Only downside is they dont have ray tracing or nvec. But if neither is important, you are getting more performance for less money.

You can also get a 3600 instead because it is basically the same just slightly lower clock speeds

Also, get an ssd for you boot drive and most played games. Something like a crucial p1 500gb or 1tb would be great.

As for the psu, anything b+ on this tier list would be good. One i found that is cheaper than what you put in is the corsair cx 750w

 

I am far from an expert in this so please correct me if I’m wrong.

Quote or tag me so I can see your response

Yeah thanks for the suggestions, ended up getting the b450 tomahawk, but I am going to stick with the 2060 super because of the rtx. Totally forgot to include the SSD with this xD but I added it afterwards.
