Hey guys I'm planning to build a gaming PC very soon with a budget of around $800- $900 CAD. I've put together a build and would like some advice on the components. I currently have an existing set of peripherals and will upgrade them later down the road. I'll be using this PC for games such as Apex Legends, Rust, the upcoming COD, PUBG, etc. Ideally I'd like to be running most games on my 1680x1050 monitor at 60fps or higher with medium-high settings.
