Hello!

I'm looking for help trying to find prices and suggestions for parts for my first ever pc build.

As mentioned in the title I have a 2000 CAD budget.

As far as benchmarks go here's specifically what I'd like - my current PC runs Baldur's Gate 3 (bought it in 2020, it's a Nitro N50-600) just fine but later into the game, and especially in the game's third act - it takes multiple minutes for every asset to load in on the huge map that I spend most of my time on. The ending cutscene for Act 2 is also a disjointed half empty nightmare. Once everything loads in I'm happy with how it looks but the wait for half of the city to appear is a big reason why I'm finally looking to make a more powerful computer myself.

With the budget I'm proposing, is it possible to assemble something that would be able to run a game like BG3 on max settings with far less (if any at all) load in time?

Any and all suggestions are appreciated!

Excited to get started and finally build a pc.

Thanks in advance!
