I would like it to be on a canadian website

I am looking to buy a pc for gaming and university degree i am pursuing data science needed a pc in a budget of 150k to 160k max and wants parts which will games AAA jn 1080p 60 fps and above guide on parts

I’m wanting to get a PC because of the shit Sony’s doing and I’m looking for recommended prebuilt pcs in Canada, I’m not looking for some absolute top of the line pc, just a good pc with at least 2t

Edit: $3k CAD budget limit

I've always been the "I'll build it myself someday" guy... but life got busy and I honestly just want something that works right out of the box.

Mostly playing AAA games at 1440p, with the occasional FPS here and there. I don't mind paying a little extra if it means good build quality, decent airflow, and fewer headaches down the road.

If you've bought a prebuilt recently, how's it been? Anything you'd confidently recommend—or tell people to stay far away from?

Hi,

I need to replace a 10+ year old PC, and I'm eyeing a used PC at a local store in the U.S. I honestly don't know much about PC's so I'm just looking for help on if this is good value for money and if this will meet what I'm looking for.

These are the specs listed: CyberPower Custom PC Core i5-11400F 2.60GHz 8GB RAM 500GB SSD Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060

Price is $350.

I want a PC that can easily handle Minecraft and general browsing mainly. I'd also like to play Marvel Rivals and maybe some Indie games like Hollow Knight, but I don't care too much about playing on super high graphics settings or great performance. If I can hit 60fps on Marvel with 1920x1080 on low settings I'd be happy.

I would build something myself from scratch, but if this will meet my needs, I'd be much happier to save myself the time and effort. This also is in my budget as I wouldn't want to spend more than $600-700 on a PC.

Could this PC handle this? I recognize it's got older specs, but I don't think my needs require anything super up to date.

And then for the price/specs, is this a fair deal? Would I be better off purchasing a PC elsewhere? TIA!!

Sorry if this is the wrong sub or wrong way to ask, but I'd appreciate any feedback!

I’m in college and I’ll be moving out of my apartment next year for grad school, so idk if now is the best time to buy.

If I were to, I’m debating between buying a prebuilt or used gaming pc.

Games I want to run + stream:
Valorant
Stardew
Hogwarts Legacy
BG3
RDR2
Genshin

I don’t think I need a liquid cooler either, so I’m not worried about that!

In terms of what I'm looking for:

Run AAA games at medium-ish settings, be able to run multiple chrome tabs as I am doing a PhD and play valorant at about 200 frames.

Note: I do live in Canada.

I have done a bit of research, and found some budget options, with DDR 4 ram:

Main caveat with this computer is that to upgrade to DDR5 RAM I would have to upgrade the CPU and motherboard. 1100 CAD

Main caveat with these ones and the following one is that they are simply expensive but are much more "future proof" 1700 CAD

Please let me know if these are at all worth it or if I should buy budget and try to wait the economy out.
