RE: Horizon Forbidden West: dank meme
This is what I would pick on that site for 1080p gaming. They're kind of restrictive about older parts and what will work together. Other people might see better choices.
To keep things as affordable as possible, this is a 12th gen Intel system using DDR4 RAM. You can probably do better by using something like PCPartPicker Canadian. You can also see what Starforge prebuilt systems look like with Canadian shipping - see link in above post. You may know someone who can get you Windows for far less or free. You can probably get by with a 550w power supply, but some people like the headroom. There are cheaper cases, but beware of inadequate cooling and cramped space for cable management.
