1000$ ITX build

[Mastax]

Budget: 1000$ CAN

 

Hi, my friend recently asked me to build a iTX pc. He wants to use it for music production, gaming and editing. I need help to find the right CPU and GPU for this price point. I was wondering about the 3700x and the 1660. Do you think it is enough.

 

Can you make any suggestion?

I love my 1660 Ti graphics card. I use the MSI Ventus OC edition. For what it's worth, I haven't had a single performance issue with it yet, and it's very cheap for good a graphics card. I highly recommend it for a $1000 build.

1000 CAD for a 3700X and 1660 Super (since the 1660 seems to be either horribly overpriced or out of stock) is pretty tight. You'd be looking at something more along these lines:
