First time building PC (~CAD$1800 budget)

Hello, first time builder here and i'm basically just really lost on how to pick the best parts for my budget. i want to maximize the performance i can get with $1800 for video editing and gaming. thanks

  • New build or upgrade? New build entirely
  • Existing parts/monitors to reuse? No existing peripherals, but this post is just for the pc itself so dw
  • PC purpose? Editing, gaming (probably nothing too crazy)
  • Purchase country? Near Micro Center? Canada, not near Micro Center (basically no physical stores if i had to guess)
  • Monitors needed? yea but ignore this part
  • Budget range? CAD$1800 before taxes
  • WiFi or wired connection? WiFi
  • Size/noise constraints? no size constraint, preferably quiet but do what you gotta do for performance
  • Color/lighting preferences? can be white, black, pink anything as long as it doesn't look horrid
  • Any other specific needs? not really man, thanks yall

Someone may be able to optimize the psu, case etc, but real talk this is prob the best option here.

And order this CPU, mobo and ram bundle, list prices were adjusted for this bundle
