building a computer is easy, fun, and cost-effective.

im gonna need a little more info from ya...so here ya go.

what ru using the computer for primarily?
do you have other necessary components? (case, monitor, PSU, HDD/SSD, mouse, keyboard, headset)


i might tweak this a lil based on your answers above, but this can get us started

GPU - gtx1060/rx580 - looks like these are around the $300cad mark. i didnt link one, but the sapphire card is best for RX580 and i think Zotac makes really high quality GTX cards. but most of these are about the same you just wanna make sure you get the 6 or 8gb variations. i think having more VRAM for fallout is going to be highly necessary.

MoBo - https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16813157762 $85 (on sale)

RAM - https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820158188 $150 (if you go ryzen you want fast ram, 2400 bout as slow as you wanna go) GeIL is making super fine RAM parts again. they werent really on the market for DDR3.

Those four parts bring us to a whooping ~750CAD. youll still need a PSU, monitor, mouse, keyboard, and Operating System to be fully functional.
