$1500 Budget CAD - Looking for advice on my parts list please.

[b787-9]

Budget (including currency): $1500

Country: Canada

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: I plan to use this computer primarily for gaming, with titles like Minecraft, Rocket League, Call of Duty, Cyberpunk, and Flight Simulator on my playlist. Additionally, I'm interested in coding, particularly for developing Android applications and creating some simple games. Since this is my first build, I'm aiming to invest in a system that not only meets my current needs but also allows for easy upgrades in the future.

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 would appreciate the forum's insights on this setup Could you please help me determine if the components are overkill, insufficient, or simply overpriced for their performance? Any alternative recommendations would also be greatly welcomed. Thank you for your guidance!

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've reviewed the parts list, which totals $2,566.38, and I would appreciate the forum's insights on this setup (my goal is to bring it down to $1500). Could you please help me determine if the components are overkill, insufficient, or simply overpriced for their performance? Any alternative recommendations would also be greatly welcomed.

You want to shave off $1000 on the parts list you created?

 

This is as close as I could get without significantly affecting performance or quality of the components.

Monitor and peripherals are up for debate. I did not change them.

Thank you! I did edit the post because I realized that I included peripherals. But I do very much appreciate the list that you provided.

How about something like this then.  I kept some RGB since you picked that in your original post.

The CPU cooler comes with its own tube of thermal paste.

White themed as your original post had a white case.

I feel like you could shave off some money by taking off the 2tb SSD and down grading the 1300 power supply to even a 1000w if you want upgrade room for the future. Like if you look at your estimated wattage in the top right of the list its only around 450 and just to be safe I'd add a couple more hundreds to that so even if you wanted to get a 750 or 850 just to save more money that would work good.

Thank you for your reply I decided to go with Hinjima's List because the list includes a case and a cooler with RGB. However, I will keep your list in mind because I might be building again for a friend later on.
