New build for PC Gaming

MrDavyNova · June 16

Budget (including currency): 1500$ CAD

Country: Canada

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Mostly for Helldivers 2 and Red Dead Redemption 2

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'll use a 32 inch monitor (Not sure whats the refresh rate on the monitor). It's a brand new PC for a smaller budget this time. I did a rough draft of all the component needed for a computer. I've succeeded at reducing the price under the budget of 1500$ but wanted to check if there is a way to lower the price while conserving the same number of component. (Like for exemple: I really the combo NVME + Hard disk, for Windows and games). I also prefer Intel combo with a watercooling but i'm incline to see what could be better.

Thank you in advance !

You want 2x16GB DDR5-6000 CL30. Go big on your SSD because you can always add more storage later on. You'll want a 120mm rear exhaust fan for that Thermaltake case or just get a case that already includes said fan.
