I'm looking for a good build for gaming at 1080p, and I've put together a PC build that totals around $1600 CAD. You can check it out here: [PCPartPicker List](https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/zhFKyW). I'd love to hear your thoughts on whether this is a good setup for my needs!

That motherboard isn't a great choice—it's low-end and a bit overpriced. I'd recommend looking at B-series boards instead. Also, your RAM is a bit slow and single-channel; for better performance, try to go for dual-channel RAM if possible.
You're really getting ripped off on that microATX A620 board! You should definitely consider upgrading to 16 GB of RAM. If you can swap to lower specs for the RAM, you could save a good amount and still get decent performance.
Just so you know, I'm getting the motherboard for about $170 CAD and the RAM for $130 CAD, so I'm a bit constrained by pricing.
