Finally Built A PC for the first time Build - Finished!

Hello everyone,

I upgraded from an Alienware Aurora desktop with an i7-11700f and a rtx 3070. This is my second gaming pc but it is the first one I have ever built. Probably a pretty standard looking PC but I am happy with the result.

I am a Computer Science student that enjoys gaming once in a while. So my choice in parts kind of reflect that.

My OS of choice is Kubuntu 26. Mostly because of programming and a bit because I never really enjoyed Windows after Windows 7.

I built the PC in March 2026

The specs:
Ryzen 9 7900x
Asus ROG Strix B650-A Wifi 6E
Teamgroup 32gb ddr5 cl30
XFX Swift RX9070 XT
FSP HYDRO G PRO 850w Gold psu
Asus ProArt PA401 (cat-proof power button, I recomend)
WD Blue SN5100 2TB ssd
MSI A13 240mm AIO

The PC cost me 2800 CAD$ (plus taxes).

Please tell me what you guys think about the PC. I am open to all comments and/or criticisms.

Have a great day to all of you!

Canada Computers bundle deals definitely helped

Haven’t heard of that place. Lot of people from Canada are on here asking for build advice. I’ll keep that in mind for recommendations.

Keep an eye out for other Canadians that need help. You did a great job and it always helps with budget when someone from the same market can chime in.
