Hey all, my laptop is dying and I've been thinking of moving on to a desktop. I haven't had anything but laptops in literally a decade, and have never built a computer, so help would be appreciated!
Ideal Budget Range: $1000-$1600 CAD incl shipping/taxes (790-1250 USD)
I primarily use Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and Paint tool SAI, working on files that can take up a lot of memory. I mostly play Overwatch,though my PC right now can only barely handle it. I would really like to be able to play at at least 60fps, right now it's between 27-30ish
I do not have a keyboard, mouse, or monitor either.
Location: Canada
Point of reference: I was told to consider the Lenovo IdeaCentre Y900 RE Razer Edition Gaming Computer as an ideal for what I'm looking for

(specs:
Windows® 10 Home, 64 bit
Intel® Core™ i7-6700K 4.0GHz Quad Core Processor
w/ 4.2GHz Turbo, 8 Threads, 8MB Smart Cache, 14nm
NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1080 Video Card w/ 8GB GDDR5X VRAM

I can get one on sale for $1800ish (not sure if this is tax included yet, need to talk to the guy selling), but before I drop that much money I was hoping to see what my other options are, as I'm not a really ~intense~ gamer or anything and maybe those specs are overkill for what I normally do, I don't know. $1800 is also a LOT of money for me and I'm nervous about making a bad decision given my inexperience. I'm willing to invest in a good computer, but I've heard prefabs tend to be overpriced so I thought I'd check with you folks first. I would love to know if anyone has build suggestions more in line with my original budget too.
Thanks for your time!! Any help would be super appreciated
