Hello I'm looking to get some help building a gaming PC as I'm switching from Console to PC. I'll obvs compensate for your time reasonably though. And I will obvs pay for parts. Looking for a knowledgeable person to complete this task. And get ve input on what parts to buy and how Much a total price etc and find a good CP form my needs. Thank you for the read and have a good day

A great site for picking out a system is:

Gives you availability and price comparisons for components from major retailers in Canada.  
 
Your biggest challenge will be sourcing an affordable graphics card. Their availability is slowly improving but any current generation cards are still selling above MSRP.

I have some experience building Computers if you’re interested in having someone help part and build a Pc. I also have recently built 2 computers and an looking to sell one of them if interested. The specs of the one that I am looking to sell is a i7 8700k and a RTX 3060. Or if you’re looking for a specific part list to fit a budget I can help you with that.

Hey fellas. Thank you so much for replying to this thread. So I'm very new to PC and came from console. Alot of the things I'm seeing here is jibberish to be honest. I have no idea what any of this means sorry but I'm essentially looking to build a beast of a PC that can handle games like warzone the new battlefield . Insurgency and squad. Looking to spend the proper money to fulfill this beast of a PC

dustins build spec he posted should be adequate for you...although right now all high end video cards are pretty overpriced right now.  
 
basically you want a newer gen INTEL cpu and a nvidia 3000 series graphixcs card, 32gb ram, although 16 is fine. PC stuff changes all the time, but u can always upgrade.

You can look at my ad of the computer on Ebrandon. I’ll sell it to you for $1500 if you want it. It can handle all the games you have stated and can stream them as well if you’re into that. This is a good mid ranged Pc that definitely will run the latest titles for years to come but if your looking to build the high of the high end (high refresh rate 1440p or 4K) you’re looking at about $4000 for the pc and gas for a trip to Winnipeg to pick up a graphics card from memory express since they’re the only ones in Manitoba with any stock. I can build it and am more than willing to do either. If you have any more questions feel free to contact me on this forum, by texting me at (204)-901-3031 or email at dust2002er@gmail.com

Thanks to the Bitcoin miners out there . . .

There's lots of cards available but unfortunately the large retailers did nothing to stop BOT programs from being used. Resellers bought up everything the miners didn't and have them for sale at 2x the MSRP.  
 
I've been trying to get a 30 series nVidia card for my wife since release with no luck. I won't support resellers so I've been on several wait lists but nothing yet. With cards starting to pop up for in person purchase I'll be checking ME in wpg anytime I go in.

Why only Intel CPU? Not a fan of AMD??
