So it's been a couple years since I've built a PC and lost track of all the new components, so I need help building a PC within my budget
 

Budget (including currency): 2,000$ CAD

Country: Canada

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: New Modern Warfare 3, CS:GO, Warzone and Rainbow Six Siege

Other details I'll be playing at 1080p and I'd like to hit 60fps on these games
