ddr3

scrap it

You're better off buying something like a Dell Optiplex 3070 mid-tower off eBay along with an RX 580 or better GPU. Should be doable under 400CAD

E: There's one now with i5-9500 16gb ddr4 512gb SSD, rx580 can be had for under $100CAD

Will have to source on eBay, I wouldn't suggest Amazon unless you have gift card(s).
