Based on your use case and budget, this is what I came up with: CPU MB and Memory combo, $850: https://www.canadacomputers.com/en/amd-desktop-processors/284957/amd-r5-7600x3d-cpu-gigabyte-b650-eagle-ax-motherboard-t-force-32gb-d5-6000mhz-cl30-ram.html GPU and PSU combo for $880: https://www.canadacomputers.com/en/powered-by-nvidia/290979/sapphire-pulse-amd-radeon-rx-9070-gpu-corsair-rm850x-psu.html 1TB NVME gen4 Silicon Power UD90 for $212: https://www.newegg.ca/silicon-power-1tb/p/0D9-0021-00135 PC Case (come with fans) for $55: https://www.newegg.ca/p/N82E16811970027?Item=N82E16811970027 CPU air cooler for $44.90: https://www.amazon.ca/Thermalright-PS120SE-TL-C12B-Technilogy-Bearing/dp/B0BNHKGG6L Overall, this build will absolutely crush at 1440p. The CPU has the X3D cache which is the best for gaming. If you want ray tracing and NVIDIA features, you would be looking at an RTX 5070 or 5070 Ti, which will shoot past your budget. If you have a little extra wiggle room, you could look into the RX 9070 XT bundles, but around $2000 this setup is the best performance you can get.
