first pc Need help planning out a PC

[trillj77]

Budget (including currency): $800 CAD

Country: Canada

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: CS:GO, Rainbow 6 Siege, Valorant and Apex Legends (if possible).

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 currently using a cheap laptop. I plan on buying about 2-3 months from now. I just need some help putting a PC part list that can run the games above at 100+ Frames per second. I hope this isn't too much to ask for.  Playing Apex Legends is give or take however it would be nice to be able to run it. Thanks in advance for any help.

Would it be doable at a budget of $1000 CAD?

In Apex, it should be doable even at 800 it’s not a specifically hard game to run if you pick your parts smartly.

Don't mind that its 1.5k the Gtx 1660 will drop down to like $200 once the pandemic is over.

Which will make the price like $900 USD idk how much that is in CAD

We will have trouble finding you a GPU. I can get you a list WITHOUT a gpu.

That sound perfect. I can get a GPU once the prices drop lower.

Do you want me to create a parts list which you can use until your graphics card comes? It probably will not do 100 fps without the graphics card, but atleast it is quick for other tasks until they come in stock.

Yeah that'll work great. I can get a GPU once the prices drop a bit lower.

This one is pushing your budget a bit (i.e total cost may be closer to around 900 CAD w/graphics card) but it is a pretty good bang for buck system.
