Need help for a friend's build!!!

So i am currently making a build for a friend, he knows nothing about computer, that's why i am building his.

 

The questions i'm having are :  

 

What kind of hardware do i really need to push Euro Truck simulator and American truck simulator at 60FPS steady, med to high details, he is gonna play on a t.v. so no need to push more FPS anyways and he's not interrested in any other games, except maybe forza's, Farming simulators, you get the idea.

 

I was thinking about getting a ryzen 3 1200 with some kind of GTX 960-970, But keeping in mind that the budget must not go any higher than, lets say, 600 CAD$, I don't mind buyind used stuff since new stuff will be too expensive anyway.

 

Second question, I saw that the EVGA 600w B1 was about 40 CAD$ on newegg at the moment, looked at the PSU Tier List and they say it's a tier 4, i just want to make sure that the PSU won't fry anything and be pretty reliable, i know this is not a best in-class PSU, but is it any good and trustable? or should i get him a better one (around 70$ max, capable of pushing ryzen 3 and a GTX 960-970, no need for modularity since the case don't have any window whatsoever.)

 

Am i better off going with intel instead of Amd knowing that ram stick are like, just a bit less expensive than buying Bill Gates's house? 

 

AAANNNNDDDDD last question, is anyone on here having some stuff for sale IN CANADA on here (located in Quebec province, (checked a bit in the classifieds, but i don't want to order from the US, too much hassle and too expensive once conversion rate applied... (+/- 30% -_-)

 

Thanks to you all in advance !!! Keep It UP great community!!!!!

 

EDIT: I also want to plug the fans on switches, i got 3 prongs switches (16A 12V) does any of you know if it is gonna work? The build is gonna be like a racecar startup, Meaning switches for the fans (to imitate the switches on a racecar dash like ignition, fuel pump etc...) and a Push Start button. Fan switches are pretty similar to those :  https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA9UP3HD9554&cm_re=16a_12v_switch-_-9SIA9UP3HD9554-_-Product

Cooler Master - MasterWatt 450W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply or Corsair CX450 (2017) would be better psu choices. Remember, psu affects system stability and component lifetimes.

 

You shouldn't have any problem finding parts in Canada. Use ca.pcpartpicker.com to compare prices from several popular Canadian merchants.

 

 

 

 

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.
