Low budget upgrade

[rockethm]

Budget (including currency): 500(maybe 600) $CAD

Country: Canada

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Games - Mostly R6 Siege and CS2 but intend to play a few other story mode titles like TLOU

Programs - Photoshop 

Other details Will run on 1080p at first but wish to upgrade my monitor to a 1440p in the future. Has to be compatible with ddr4 since I don't plan on changing my current RAM. Low power usage is good too. I don't want Intel ARC.

 

I'm from Brasil and PC parts are very expensive here but I'm going to Canada on August and thought to bring a GPU and a CPU (maybe a mobo too) back to Brasil. I saw LTTs latest video on the budget PC but they chose mostly used parts and I think it will be hard for me to get used parts since I won't be staying for long, so preferably new parts. I would like recommendations on GPU,CPU (maybe mobo) combos I could get for up to 500 $CAD (I can try going up to 600 and maybe even 700 if it makes a significant difference in performance). I liked Linus's suggestion on CPU (Ryzen 5 5600x). If anyone also have recommendations on were to buy those parts it would help a lot.

 

Thanks in advance everyone!!

You can buy a Ryzen 5 5600x3d and pair it with a 6700xt. Like me, my main game is CS2. and CS2 is a CPU intensive game. And a huge cache like the Ryzen 5 5600x3d (100mb combined cache jeeez) would greatly benefit you in your games.
