need help making a budget build

[pure juniper]

hello, im looking to do my own first build, but don't know where to start. I'm a student, so I'm working on a budget around 500-600 CAD

if you don't mind igpu, you can build a decent system for programming etc, but not enough budget for a gaming system

You have to buy used parts in the budget

IGPUs suck ass compared to even complete trash GPUs like a 3050 6gb

canada prices are pretty terrible and you cannot even get a second hand 3050 system for less than his budget

I DIDN'T SAY TO A 3050 😭 😭

Probly used pre built plus 2060

Or 5700 (XT)

Ehh.. not an amazing list, even with the budget constraints.

The Canadian market is actually rather nice with a deeper look.

Are you fine with a used GPU? That’d be the easiest route, frankly.

And are you purchasing within a week or so?

If yes to both, then here’s a list. You can probably find a cheap GPU on Facebook Marketplace- I just put a 1650 Super, seeing as it’s the most commonly resold card. If you find something better, grab it.

Also note, never purchase from Vuugo/ShopRBC/Pc-Canada. They all severely overcharge in shipping.

used 1650 supers in my area all sell for 100+ cad in my area

but if you can find one for 70$, definitely go for it
