I'm looking for advice on building a gaming PC with a budget of $2100 CAD, using only parts available from Amazon Canada. I've put together a build that includes an AMD Ryzen 5 9600X CPU, MSI GeForce RTX 5070 graphics card, 32 GB of RAM, and various components. I want to ensure I'm getting the best performance for my budget. What do you think? Are there any suggestions for better components or optimizations?

If you're set on the parts you've chosen, it's possible to squeeze in a 5070 Ti by adjusting a few components. Just keep in mind that your primary monitor, which is 1440p, would work best with a powerful GPU for gaming at higher settings.
Consider upgrading to a larger SSD and a more powerful power supply. For instance, you could look at a 2 TB SSD which would give you way more storage for games. Also, a PSU with higher wattage would provide better efficiency and room for future upgrades. I put together an alternate parts list that might interest you!
The build looks solid, but a 21.5-inch monitor seems a bit small. If you're only using it as a second monitor, that makes sense, but a larger screen would optimize your gaming experience. Just my two cents!
I've created a slightly more optimized build that comes in a bit over budget but improves a lot on performance. It has a better power supply, cooler, and monitor, along with double the storage. This setup should give you a fantastic gaming experience! I've linked my parts list below for reference.
If you're flexible with suppliers, you could find similar parts cheaper at different stores. I can share an alternative list that includes a fantastic GPU and still stays within your budget!
Yeah, I actually have a 27-inch 1440p monitor already! The one I shared is just for secondary use.
