Hi all,

Ive grown up playing PS and PC, but mostly PC. I love modding games. I started out with a really bad laptop, and got gifted my current PC a few years ago which unfortunately is a pretty weak prebuilt (My parents woudnt know better though, I cant blame them)

Now that I have a job, im looking for a Computer that will last me a while since im turning 20 and dont have a lot of money to upgrade often in the future.

I play a lot of Modded games. Modded Minecraft with a LOT of mob mods, Modded Planet Zoo, Modded Skyrim, Anything I can Mod I will, so I usually like to have a lot of RAM.

I dont play many AAA games, but I play some graphically demanding games like Prehistoric Kingdom (Recommended: Intel Core i7-4770 or AMD FX-8350Memory (RAM): 16 GBGraphics Card (GPU): NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 (6 GB) or AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT (6 GB)) or Monster Hunter Games and games that require a lot of Power to calculate things like Animal AI (Planet Zoo, PK, Jurassic World Evo)

Im looking for something that can future proof me for a while. Willing to spend a good amount. My current PC will have to be completely trashed since its pretty old.

For reference, ive had this build for at least a few years:

Processor: Intel Core i7-6700 @3.40GHz 3.41GHz

16GB Ram

NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 (2GB), Intel HD Graphics 530 (128mb)

477 GB SSD

Windows 10 Pro

Its a Dell Optiplex 5050 🥲🥲🥲

I lag on almost every game significantly right now. Ive always dreamed of having a competent PC. Help me build one for anything under $3000 CAD, although I am for closer to $2000 CAD I just need a relatively future proof computer that will last me a long long time while I get my life together 🤷
