Prices are in CAD so it'll be a bit cheaper converted to USD.

Going off of what I've gathered through the subreddit /r/buildapc I think this is a decent build for your needs, maybe even a bit overkill.

It gives you the ability to overclock if you so choose, but don't know how well or how easy it will be.

Best advice I can give is to do some research on parts you think you'll like, and then look at cheaper alternatives.

If you have questions feel free to respond, I can do my best to answer
