$1000 CAD (Before tax, but after shipping) PC Build

[randomperson89]

Hello! The PC I'm looking for is a $1000 CAD (Before tax, but after shipping build) PC Build. I will use the build mainly for gaming (A wide variety of games, from CS:GO to Cities: Skylines, and I will play heavier games), but with some photo editing and video editing. I will only be running everything on a 1080p monitor running at 60hz, and I have all the peripherals needed. I intended to buy this PC so that I can replace the junk business laptop that I've owned for years, as I was shifting more towards gaming from business things. I prefer for my PC to contain:

• Windows 10 RETAIL AND IN ENGLISH
• Bluetooth support
• A window
• Ability to OC (if possible)
• SSHD or SSD

Here's my attempt of my build (It's price after tax on this):

Looks good, go for cheaper memory though if you can. Other than that, the SSD(and the PSU seems a bit sketchy to me), it all seems fine.

Couldn't find any cheaper memory that would have a fast enough speed for Ryzen.

it's still a good gpu, but the vram is abit low. turn down the settings alittle if vram runs out, or get the os from reddit and use the money for a 1060 6gb and other things.

Memory: G.Skill - Ripjaws V Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR4-3200 Memory

This could be a good pick for extra $25 I think. And also I wouldn't waste my money on the OS, but a 1060 3gb is a pretty decent card:

I just wanna throw in that for that budget you can also get a very nice intel system (i3 8100).

The single core bump might be helpful in CAD and Cities: Skylines especially and it has the same core count as the R3.

Although the i3 has more features... for a guy like me, I'm probably not going to use them. An i3 is an overpriced Pentium for my use.

No, I said the new i3 is basically the same chip as last Gen's i5. That means it's in a new socket, new chipset and all. It is part of the latest cpu lineup you can get. Also it is definitely better performing than the R3. They are priced about equally where I live so the i3 definitely offers more bang for your buck if you will so.
