Budget (including currency): under 4000 dollars canadian (preferably under 3800 CAD, max is 4000)

Country: Canada

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Gaming, trying to future proof for a good PC for a long time

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'm trying to figure out what is best for me to do.
I am thinking of doing one of two options:
2080 Ti, with 2 TB of SSD storage, and only 16 gigs of ram.

OR
2080 super, with 3 TB of SSD storage, and 32 gigs of ram.

I don't know exactly what to choose. Could you help me out? (first PC, don't know much)

Ryzen 3000XT are being released and Ryzen 4000 series are to be released this year, as well as nvidia 3000 potentially in August

 

If you really wanted to "future proof" as much as possible id wait to get the newer hardware because it would be better for longer

 

or out of the two you gave, if you really wanted future proofing id get the 2080 Ti and 2tb with 16gb, if you find you need more down the track its cheaper to add in the extra rather than swapping a 2080 Super for a 2080 Ti

CPU: i5-4690k @ 4.4 GHz | RAM: 12GB DDR3 1333MHz | GPU: Sapphire Pulse RX 580 4GB

yeah, i gotchu. this is just for now, i don't know when i'm getting it. i'm just thinking for right now, which one is better. when the 3000's get released the 2080 Ti will likely loose some value, which would be great to have it a bit cheaper
