What will it be used for?

Watching dramas also there's a bundle deal if I purchase 3 components I get dibs on a 3060ti. I can't buy gpu standalone so it's best time to get it while buy the components planning to hold money till next week

Sick deal.

Is it a local shop? I would call/email them and ask for the cheapest cpu+MOBO combo that includes wifi and either a ryzen 3 or Intel i3.

If they don't have customer service, just run a search for the cheapest MOBO with wifi that will support DDR4. If it's Intel, find the cheapest AMD MOBO and compare MOBO+cpu with MOBO+cpu. Often one side of the fence will be on sale at a given time

Use the remainder of the budget for 8gb RAM and a tiny sata SSD (128gb should be fine for shows)

So I called them and looked online they don't have much in stock so I picked this combo for 609.85 plus 699.95 9% tax is 1430
Still think I can't afford but that's my best option atm if I want best

So Strix is ASUS top tier brand, you can definitely find a cheaper MOBO (I would budget 150 Canadian so you can definitely find cheaper)

Ryzen 7 is overkill for what you're doing with it. Try to find a ryzen 3, preferably last generation

Ok this is what I like to get atm
Need to hold money till next week

This looks like a much better fit to what you were shooting for. I still think you could bump the CPU down to an Intel i3 but if the price difference isn't much you might as well stick with the i5

Going for this 12th gen

you could get away with much less for streaming vids, but I think you know that.
