Since my mobo fried and my pc is 6 yrs old I need a new one.
I mostly game besides browsing and have some parts already.

If someone can look over my picks and give me advice that would be great.

I have widows, keyboard/mouse, power supply, ssd and hhd

Would need a case added to my list and im looking to spend around 800 to 900 canadian with case included

id at least swap ram and mobo to the ones i chose

Hey thanks. Could you explain why? Im really new and trying to understand parts. Also i noticed you changed the video card? Is it worth sticking with my card i picked and using the price difference of the one you picked and use it for a better mobo?

'better mobo' just means more expansion slots, aside from that all that really matters is caps (all solid nowadays) and how many power phases it has for overclocking. 1060 6gb not only has twice the vram but also a beefier gpu which is something scummy nvidia doesn't make clear in marketing, the 1060 6gb has around 10-15% more overall shader performance, meaning even if you capped its vram to 3gb it would be faster than the '''''''''''1060''''''''''' (can't really use enough quotes here) 3gb.

game vram requirements are on the up. Really you should save up a little more and look for a gtx 1070, those are the most cost effective now since nvidia cranked up the price on mid-range due to being scumbags with no competition from AMD

Higher speed ram also cheaper

And I've had problems with that brand of mobo in the past so I'm biased

ryzen cpu performs better with faster ram speeds, the ram he picked is 2666 and at a very cheap price. Ideally you'd want over 3000, but they go over $200+ for a set. The ram you picked is 2400 and more expensive.
As for the gpu u dont wanna get that cuz it only has 3gb vram, you'd want at least 4 minimum. 6-8 will be more ideal
i'd recommend this
