Pc build in canada

[ritishsuman0]

I am moving to canada this year, i wast to build a budget gaming pc
Here the parts
I3 8100
B360 any decent model
Gtx 1060 or gtx 2060
2x4 gb ram
And my budget is about 1300 cad with all the components like monitors and accesories included
I just wanted to ask that is i3 8100 good enough for gtx 1060 for 1080p gaming in future or should i wait for gtx 2060
I usually play games like
R6 siege
Rust
Battlefield
Or should i buy gtx 980 ti on ebay its compareable to gtx 1070

The i3 is going to be pretty under powered for any current gaming. You may want to try and bump that to an i5 or just go AMD.

Is i5 8400 good or i should go for ryzen 2600

Honestly, I'm an intel fanboy and would love to tell you that going for the i5 is the better choice, But I think you're going to get more bang for your buck with the ryzen.

These 8th-gen i3s are quad-cores, so they'll run today's games just as well as the previous-gen i5s. I imagine there will be games appearing within the next couple years or so that might need more threads to run well though. Personally, I would go up to a 6-core i5-8400 or Ryzen 2600 to keep the system relevant longer.

As for the 2060, there isn't enough information available about it yet to make a reasonable assessment of its value. It also might not be available until sometime around November.

If you are looking for cards in the 1060's price/performance range, you might also consider the RX 580, which performs similar to a 1060 6GB, with some models currently available for significantly less. It is a bit less energy efficient though, and in turn puts out more heat.
