Budget (including currency): 

between 1000-1500 CAD maybe a bit more if its worth it

Country: Canada

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: occasional gaming, mostly for university. I am looking to be able to run two 4k monitors if the budget allows.  

Other details: The budget does not include peripherals. no case preference. 

 

Its been a few years since I kept up with current hardware. The last time I built a computer was in 2013 haha. I'm looking to start a completely fresh build.

Thanks in advance.

Will you be doing any overclocking?

What settings and resolution do you expect for your games?

Possibly a light overclock nothing crazy. I would only need 1080p for gaming but the more the better. As long as it can hold 60fps I'd be happy.
