Gaming PC build

[MrColour]

Computer that can run overwatch and maybe some really light editing. A computer that cost $1000 Canadian with monitor windows 10 thanks for the advice. https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/2Wb8D8

[QuantumBit]

Get a kinguin key for windows, get a better PSU, and try getting 1x8GB stick at slightly higher speeds. If its for  mainly gaming maybe get a 120gb ssd for OS only.

[RadiatingLight]

Boom!

 

Managed to get a 1060 6GB in there by going mATX with a much cheaper board and case, plus kinguin windows 10 (no performance impact).

Put in a much better PSU

I think the power supply is good enough actually, at 500 watts it should be enough to run a 1050 ti.

For the wattage its fine, but the quality is crap.

Wattage is fine, quality isn't.

it's tier 6 out of 7, which isn't very good (list in sig), and TBH shouldn't be running a system with a dGPU anyway.

 

a system like that could even run on a 300W PSU. (look at gamersnexus PSU tests, linked in sig) (You Probably Don't Need A Big PSU )

I think a 1200 + 1060 will work better for OP's uses.

Good build, but I'd rather sacrifice 8GB of RAM and lower the 1400 to a 1200 to get a 1060 6GB (like my build)

A $1000 build should not be having a Ryzen 3.

The GTX 1060 6GB is an inferior value to the 3GB.  It's overkill for Overwatch

You can get an SSD for at least $20 cheaper.

I would suggest a less expensive ssd, a better psu, faster memory, and a consumer Windows license. (The OEM Windows 10 license does not permit use in DIY builds.)

No idea why anyone is recommending a 6GB 1060 for Overwatch lmfao. A 1050Ti is adequate for Overwatch at high refresh rate(100+FPS easily) at 1080p.

You can drop to 8GB RAM if you want;

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/XJYWGX/gskill-aegis-8gb-1-x-8gb-ddr4-3000-memory-f4-3000c16s-8gisb

Either just to save $70 or to grab an R5 1600 instead of the R5 1400.

A little over budget but should serve you very well.

Yes, a $1000 build should have a Ryzen 3, since it's in CAD, and also includes a monitor. it's basically a $650USD build.

Inferior value, maybe. but the 1060 3GB also has inferior performance. if I can get more performance within the budget, then why not??

it might be overkill for overwatch, but Ryzen 5 or anything more than a 1200 is also overkill for overwatch. pick your overkill (and I chose the one that will give better performance in games overall)

You seem to forget that this is in CAD. you can't get a cheaper SSD with comparable performance, and this is also more gigabytes, so that's probably worth spending an extra $5 on.
