I'm trying to build a PC that can handle gaming at 1440p, especially for games like Risk of Rain 2, Rounds, TABS, and Minecraft. While these games aren't super demanding, I really enjoy modding them, which is why I'm leaning towards 1440p instead of 1080p. I want to know if it's feasible to build a gaming PC in the $2,000 to $2,500 CAD range that doesn't necessarily need high FPS but can manage games with a lot of mods. Given the current state of the economy, I'm willing to wait until March or June to purchase the parts. I apologize if this comes off as a lazy post, but I've always found tech confusing and could use some clarity beyond what I've seen in videos.

You can definitely build a solid 1440p gaming PC within your budget! Check out this build I found: [PC Part Picker Link](https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/z2THYd). It's tailored for gaming at 1440p and should handle modded games well while staying within your price range.
Thanks for sharing that! It's really helpful, I was feeling overwhelmed with choices, so this makes things a bit clearer.
If you're looking for an alternative, consider a B850 motherboard with a Ryzen 9 9800X3D. It'll give you great performance for modding, plus make sure to include an 850W power supply for some headroom if you decide to overclock.
