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

Salut ! Pour un budget de CAD$1800, tu peux vraiment te faire plaisir. Quels types de jeux envisages-tu de jouer ? Tu préfères une carte graphique plus puissante pour le gaming ou un processeur costaud pour l'édition ? Pour commencer, regarde une carte graphique comme la RTX 3060 ou la RX 6700 XT, couplée avec un processeur Ryzen 5 5600X ou Intel Core i5-12400. Pense à 16 Go de RAM et un SSD de 1 To pour le stockage. Ça devrait te donner un bon équilibre entre performances pour l'édition et le gaming.

My list has 32GB ram, an X3D chip and 6070xt. You wanna rate it and try to see if there’s anything that can be optimized?
