I'm looking to spend $1,300 to $1,800 Canadian at most.

So far I know I need at least this:
i7-14700k
4060 gpu
Ram 32gb ddr5
1 TB NVMe SSD

I'm trying to play any new releases with great FPS. Like BF 6 and POE 2.

I found these two PCs but don't know if they're good enough/should invest a bit more.

$1,499 Canadian:

$1,363 Canadian
https://www.amazon.ca/CyberPowerPC-i5-13400F-GeForce-Windows-GXiVR8060A40/dp/B0DW4BY993/

I haven't bought a PC in years, and the options are overwhelming. I don't want to overpay for no reason. I want a GREAT PC that's worth every penny. Even if I need to increase my spending limit.

Any help is greatly appreciated. I want to buy ASAP.
I'll tip very well if you can help me out. I'd greatly appreciate it.

Build your own, something similar to https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/pbRVMC

Get a GPU with 12gb ram MINIMUM.

I understand I'll get a better bang for my buck this way, but I don't want to deal with the following:

8 items being delivered on different days over a few-week period
Putting it together myself (Can just pay someone, but idk who)

I know, I suck. But I'd greatly prefer everything to come already put together on the same day. I'm okay paying more for this option.

go in a reliable pc store and ask them if you can pick your parts and pay them to build it for you , its Canada not some third world country , which means you have plenty of options , as of prebuilds getting 1 year warranty is just funny , i dont know how it is there but in Europe when you buy your pc parts separate you get 3 years warranty for cpu , 5 years for SSD , 10 years for ram , and 10 years for PSU if its a A tier rated = i think you get the point , overpaying 500 - 600 cad and getting 1 year warranty - Cmon?

Why do you assume you "need" an i7-14700?

Honestly, you can get by very well on any 12-13th gen i5 or even r5 5000 or 7000 series AMD.
As mentioned above, 12gb VRAM is about the bare minimum to run most of today's games in a reliable state without sacrificing too much.
32gb is roughly the new standard.


Some other options here for you...

I did end up going with Skytech, I got this one

I had a friend go through a bunch of options and that's what we landed on. It's too late to take it back, probably. But was it a good choice? The options were overwhelming =/ I'm just glad the picking process is over lol

doesnt look to be a bad option you went with... Tad pricey due to it being a pre-built, but if you're happy with it and it does as you're wanting it to, then you cant go wrong!

I highly recommend going with AMD CPU instead of intel.

That's not too bad of a deal. It will play pretty much anything at 1440p. These days with ram prices as high as they are prebuilts aren't looking too bad.

I've buildt my own setup this year, and also helped 4 other friends get theirs. My tip would be to go out of your way to get a 9800x3d chip, even if that means picking a less powerfull gpu for now.
I checked amazon / newegg real quick and I don't think your budget would fit a 9800x3d. 2 of my friends picked up 9800x3d//9070xt rigs for 1300-1400usd on sale this summer, same rig today us 2800... Considering how expensive memory is now I would look at clearance rigs. Maybe go in person and look at deals at your local electronicsstore. The 64gb/6000mhz kit i got in february for 230usd costs 1300usd now... ram prices are insane.
