Hey everyone! I'm diving into the world of PC building for the first time and plan to use my setup primarily for gaming over the next 5-10 years, as a replacement for my console. I want to enjoy some AAA titles, and I'd also like to dabble in streaming and editing, but gaming performance is my top priority. My budget for this build is $1100 CAD, and I'd appreciate any advice on the best parts to choose!

Here's a solid starting point for your build within your budget:
- **CPU:** Intel Core i5-13400F - $169.99
- **CPU Cooler:** Cooler Master Hyper 212 - $20.99
- **Motherboard:** ASRock B760M Pro RS - $176.04
- **RAM:** Patriot Viper Venom 32 GB - $179.99
- **Storage:** TEAMGROUP T-FORCE G50 1 TB SSD - $79.99
- **GPU:** ASRock Challenger OC Arc B580 - $326.99
- **Case:** Montech X5M Mini Tower - $59.99
- **Power Supply:** ASRock Challenger CL-750G - $77.34
**Total:** $1091.32
This should give you a pretty decent experience for the time being!
I don't think this setup will hold up for the long haul you're hoping for. It'll probably serve you until the next PS6 drops, which might outshine this build.
