Hi,

My name is Renaud Morin and I just got my first pay today, and I already know what I want to do with it. I was wondering if you guys could help me building my very own pc. If you could just help me with the parts, it would be very kind. I know your really good in that domain since it's your job :)️. I currently live in Canada so if the parts could be in $CAD, it would be appreciated. And my budget is 1500$, willing to pay about 100$ more if necessary.
 
Since I am going to cegep this year in computer programming, it would be useful to have a good one for that, and for a little bit of gaming.
 
I don't need any more monitors, because I already own 2: the first on is an AOC, 4k 28in 60hz, and the second is an ASUS 1080p 24in 60hz.
 
Peripherials side, I don't need any, I have a good mouse, a good keyboard, and a good mic. (good as in good enough for me :) )
 
I'm upgrading because my current pc is a laptop, that as almost 5 years old. I've never been able to play top tier games on it, and I want to change that.
 
Finally, thanks for all the help guys! Looking forward to work with you on that project!
 
Renaud.

Could get an 8 core CPU, but that's not needed for gaming

*The cheap RX 570s were all out of stock online
 

What model is the AOC monitor? Probably has free-sync if you bought it recently

 

Don't bother trying to game at 4k, you can just upscale from 1080p without an issue.

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?
