PC Build validation & suggestions for midrange gaming & coding

[JPHebert]

Budget (including currency): 2000$Can

Country: Canada, eh!

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Coding & gaming, AAA games not a priority

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): 

• Looking for some longevity built-in, PC will eventually be repurposed hence the i7 w/GPU, seems like a win down the road
• No bling needed, no LEDs, silence > pimp my case
• Is Deepcool decent for PSUs? If not, eVGA or Corsair?
• Selected an AMD 6750XT seems like a good price/performance balance

Thanks!!

You want a locked 13 gen i7 for that B760 board due to less wattage and less heat.

 

With integrated graphics.
