[SOLVED] Build Advice under $1000 CAD

[avidity]

Hi,

My girlfriend wants to get a PC to play games like the Sims 4 and Civ 6. She wants to spend under $1000 CAD.
I was thinking something like this but I need to get it under $1000. Maybe Ryzen would be better for her? She also would need WiFi.

Any help is appreciated.

Bump your motherboard down and that build will fit budget. Could shave a few more bucks with a bit less PSU. Would work extremely well on the games you list.
A Ryzen 5 rig would likely come in a few dollars cheaper on same/comparable parts.

Far, far superior performance by going Ryzen
CPU that performs like an I7 8700k but has a stock cooler.
RX590 that is a good bit faster than an RX570.

Had to add a wifi card to get wifi, but no big deal.
