Build upgrade

[Geofilms]

Budget (including currency): 1.5k CAD

Country: Canada

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: FPS games like Tarkov, CSGO, Val; RTS games like Total Warwarhammer 2, Xcom 2; Cardgames (not intensive), Some graphics intensive games like Red Dead Redemption 2 and the new GTA game whenever that comes out in the next 100 years.

Other details

Hey so I was thinking about upgrading my PC. My current system is 5 years old and so practically speaking I would need to build from scratch. My current plans are such.

The following I already own (either bought recently or from my current PC build)

 

Storage:
1tb Harddrive current build
500 gb SSD (samsung 860 EVO 500gb) current build
1TB NVMe M.2 SSD (samsung 980 Pro) bought recently
Ram:
4x8gb DDR 4 corsair Ram current build

 

Purchases I need to make (Planned):

 

Graphics Card: 3080 Ti (used) appx 600 CAD
CPU: R7 5800x3d (used) appx 425 CAD
Motherboard: Don't know yet
Cooling: Don't know yet (was recommended Noctua by a friend)
Case: No clue

 

My goal is to build a future proofed system for appx 1.5k CAD. I would also need to purchase a 1440p monitor but I have all other peripherals from my current build. Does anyone know of any hidden gems in terms of Gcard/cpu that might preform better than what I am planning on buying for appx the same price? Will my CPU bottleneck my GPU or vice versa? What cooling is recommended? What cooling do you recommend? I can probably figure out a motherboard on my own.

 

My priorities are price to preformance and a future proofed system that can last me another 5 years. I am not afraid to buy used (on ebay). I dont really care about appearance at all (primarily for the case).

If you play your haggle cards right you could fetch a 3090 at that price.

That is kinda hyper shit deal, you can get new for 3 CAD more. For context actual used price for it down south of the border is 300-350CAD.

I was able to find a 5800X3D on kijiji for 325 thanks :D.
Would you say 600 is a good price for a 3080Ti, Ive searched on both eBay and Kijiji and the cheapest 3090 I can find is 850 so I doubt I can haggle that down to 600

6950xt is or at least was running 600usd with xfx cards going for 580 for awhile there.  Dunno how much they are up in the great white north.  I really like mine so far.  I'm kind of over Nvidia at this point, but not sure amd is much better.  More of a pick your poison kinda deal.
