Budget (including currency): $2000 to $2500 CAD

Country: Canada 

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: excessively modified minecraft at 4k 60hz; also, hoping to have fun overclocking and tweaking

 

Here's my ideal build (criticism welcome) and I'm hoping you folks can help me find ways to get as close to this as possible within my budget. I pretty much only play modded minecraft with any consistency but want to pick up CS:GO once I've got a decent system - the current one can barely do minecraft lowest settings at 1440p and ~40 fps. Last time I built a PC it was nearly $10k with a 480mm rad and around 15 years ago now, so I'd like to have my overclocking fun without breaking the bank this time. Thanks in advance for the help.

Why are you looking to downgrade the build? It looks pretty solid, save maybe swapping out the 5800X for a 5900X among some other minor things

My profile picure is real. That's what I look like in real life. I'm actually a blue and white African Wild Dog.

Looking to downgrade only to fit within budget. Trying to upgrade my budget at the same time though.
