Budget (including currency): ~$1800 CAD

Country: Canada

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Playing Planet Zoo, Red Dead Redemption 2, Coding/Programming

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): 

 

I have a parts list started from pcpartpicker. I have already purchased a case and CPU cooler. I have two 75hz monitors that I may end up upgrading later on, just trying to get the PC set up first. I also want this PC to be good for a few years before upgrading parts.

Hey! Welcome to the Forum.

This is a very good list! You didn't overspend on anything unnecessary and all parts will work very nicely together.

Good job on picking the parts 🙂 

Not much I would change.

You can easily put a much faster GPU in the system in a few years and not worry about CPU bottleneck 🙂

 

I would change the PSU and up the wattage to 850w for future upgrades.

This Be Quiet PSU has a 10 year warranty compared to the RMe's 7 year warranty and is 850w.

The RMe series is also known to be a little loud due to the smaller fan while the Be Quiet series are more silent.  The price is the same.
