Need Help in Building a PC!

[Fulbring]

Hey guys! I'm new to this forum and was looking for some help in regards on building a new PC. Now I went on the Youtube channel of ducan33303 and he had some pretty good builds for the 350$ PC and a 400$ PC. I am actually looking to build a PC of my own and I need some help in deciding the parts I should use. I am actually looking for performance more than I am gaming but gaming is something I would also like to do on the build at least on high settings.

 

My budget is 415$ to be exact and was wondering if you guys can help me build out a similar build like duccan33303 build in his video. The thing with his builds is that they are almost 5 months old and I'm sure there are new parts out that beat his build in performance and price.

 

I prefer AMD mostly over Intel just because of the price and also that I have had a pretty good experience with AMD for at least 2 years but I will let you decide what I should pick. I am in Canada BTW so prices and the online shops that ship to Canada are very limited. I only know of NCIX and NewEgg. I am not looking for specfic parts. Just the ones I need to run the build. I already have an operating system key and accessories for the PC. Just need the Internals :D

 

Looking forward to what you guys build up and make a build from the options you guys recommend!
