Budget (including currency): $4500 CAD

Country: Canada

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Cyberpunk 2077, Warhammer 40,000: Darktide,
Age of Empires, ARK: Survival Evolved, Blender

 

 

Hi, I'm building my very first PC, and I could really use some guidance and advice from experienced builders in this community. My primary purpose for this PC will be gaming, with some 3D modeling work thrown in. I would like it if I didn't have to upgrade anything for a few years after building. I've set a budget of $4500 for this build, and I want to ensure I get the best performance and value for my money, there is room in the budget if needed but I would like to keep within my budget if possible. 

 

Thank you in advance for your assistance!
