Hi everyone,

I figure my computer is pretty old now. Here is the build: https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/ftvZvK
I also put in a Cryorig H7 cooler.

I am looking for a PC that is $500 or under Canadian. This will be for gaming and data science work eventually.

Is there a substantial upgrade that comes to mind? I am hesitate to build my own given my lack of experience.

Thanks,
Aegis

I found this template in my general research


Approximate Purchase Date: Anytime; within the next couple of weeks

Budget Range: $500 Canadian (after rebates or before)

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming

Are you buying a monitor: No


Parts to Upgrade: See current build link above

Do you need to buy OS: Yes
Please note that if you're using an OEM license of Windows, you will need a new one when buying a new motherboard.

Preferred Website(s) for Parts:
Does not matter.

Location: Ottawa, Canada

Parts Preferences: Doesn't matter; most optimal

Overclocking: Probably not.

It gives me the same errors as before. It's different every time. Drivers, etc. Nothing I haven't seen before.

This USB key worked before and it installed OK. I literally bought it today.
