You need more money or look for something used.

And all that, medium settings @ 1080p = ~55FPS. Far cry from 144 Hz (144 FPS).

So, you're much better off looking 2nd hand market for used PCs.

Ya Canada isn't good for building a budget PC. Get a used optiplex and install a rx550 or a gtx750.

Unless you can find some crazy special at a store near to you, buying new isn't going to happen with that budget. You would need 650 - 750 for something somewhat decent. Are you opposed to buying used?
