Need help for a 800$ canadian gaming pc

Hi, I plan on building a new pc soon to upgrade from my G3258 and GTX 750ti for around 800 Canadian Dollars. (610 USD)

 

I want the most bang for buck pc that will support me throughout high school. (Roughly 3-4 years) 

 

I will be using this pc for gaming and school work.

 

I want to play games like Forza Horizon 4 at High-Ultra Settings 60fps.

 

I also plan on getting the LG  34UM69G-B Ultrawide monitor or something similar. (Not factored in the 800$ budget). https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/LwGj4D/lg-34um69g-b-340-2560x1080-75hz-monitor-34um69g-b

 

All help is appreciated!

So, do you need a full build or are you willing to reuse some of your current parts like the power supply and the case? (what psu do you have by the way?)

 

I wouldn't worry about high school work, generally it's just a bunch of essay writing and occasionally some presentations - almost anything will handle those.

 

I don't really recommend 21:9 monitors, they're generally just as expensive as a higher resolution 16:9 panel and this one is no exception... not to mention 1080p at 34" doesn't look very crisp.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

Yee, lack of crispness coupled with a lot of writing/text stuff would be horrible. 1080p at 24" (or 25" ultrawide) is stretched enough IMO, 24" is the biggest I would reccomend going for, but if you can get a 1440p 24/27" monitor I'd reccomend that.

I don't really want to use old parts because they are not very good quality and I plan on giving this pc to a friend.

Here is what you should try to aim for:

It's not too expensive, good performance for the price, and leagues faster than your current rig. Please try to save up to get this sort of setup instead of settling for something lower. It can be stripped down (weaker GPU and CPU), but I would not recommend it because you would probably just want to upgrade it down the line anyway. Try to set yourself up for a while instead of buying low and spending more money later to upgrade.

 

 

 

But, if you can't get the money together or you don't want to wait, here is what you can do:

With this build, you will be able to play games right away without a graphics card. You can use this to hold you over until you have the money to buy a full GPU (again I would recommend the RX580).

It seems like a cool idea but I haven't really bought anything used before.

 

I also want to get a new CPU because it will be more future proof with 6 cores.

 

But the case looks really cool and I am really considering the RX 580

 

Thanks for the suggestion

CPUs rarely fail so they're perfectly fine to buy used. The ryzen 2600 would need a new mobo and DDR4 ram that would have went way past your budget without getting a much worse GPU while the i7 4770 works just fine with your current board while performing similarly in games.

Ok, I'll definitely look into it and try to maybe find a 4790k.

no need for an unlocked i7 when your mobo can't oc, the locked i7s will do.

That Kingston, although cheap, is cacheless and will perform slower and die faster than the EVO I listed. EVOs also come in a 500gb variant if you like, and even up to 1tb.

Getting a used i7 for your socket wouldn't be a bad idea and it would allow you to spend more of your budget on other things. Buying used cpus usually isn't a problem, they don't really suffer from degradation over time - as long as it isn't dead when you receive it it should work just as though it were new. Starting from your current build I would buy an ssd (a sata drive is fine), a more reliable power supply and spend whatever's left on a graphics card - you may be able to shoot for a 1070/ti at that point.

 

If you really want to start from scratch, here's what I'd get:
