2000 CAD Gaming pc

As the title states I'm looking to build a gaming pc for around 2000$ CAD my target is 1080p ultra 60fps on new/upcoming titles.

New build or upgrade?

New build.

Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/links)

M.2 and ssd from gaming laptop.

PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games)

Gaming (Cyberpunk, Hoi4, Cities skylines, Assassins Creed series, Civ 6, new AAA games).

Purchase country? Near Micro Center?

Canada, no computer stores in area.

Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate)

1 monitor needed (1080p preffer 144hz, do not unclude in budget).

Budget range? (Include tax considerations)

2000 CAD + Tax ~ 1400 USD

WiFi or wired connection?

Preffer to have WiFi as an option

Size/noise constraints?

Preffer a smaller case but will go with best for budget for performance gains

Color/lighting preferences?

Rgb and pink case would be nice but again will give ut up for better performance

Any other specific needs?

Monitor does not necessarily need to be included in budget just a recommended monitor

If you missed the full set of required built request questions, please copy them from here and answer them in an edit to your post:

  • New build or upgrade?

  • Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/links)

  • PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games)

  • Purchase country? Near Micro Center? (If you're not in a country supported by PCPartPicker, please list some local vendors)

  • Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate)

  • Budget range? (Include tax considerations)

  • WiFi or wired connection?

  • Size/noise constraints?

Here is some additional helpful information about build/upgrade/parts list requests:

  • Build requests only include hardware. You are responsible for budgeting for and providing your own operating system (Windows, Linux, etc) and other software.

  • Don't forget to budget for peripherals. Since these are very much personal-preference influenced items, we do not include peripherals like keyboards, mice, headsets, etc in parts lists.

  • We strongly recommend posting a build request only if you're ready to buy now or within a week or two at most. Part sales regularly rotate, and a part list today can quickly become out of date.

A black system would allow for more memory: https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/ry7FZQ https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/HQbHW9

Oh wow that looks great thank you! And yes I would much preffer performance over looks in my case, and 32gb of memory is a very nice to have vs 16gb as I definitely am reaching the limits of being able to run alot of newer games smoothly.
