Hello goon world,

Thinking of purchasing a pre-build PC mainly for gaming (COD warzone) and perhaps entertainment (streaming films etc) - ideally this would last me at least a couple of years without the need for a major refurbishment / upgrade. My current gaming rig is a base PS4, so hoping for a reasonable upgrade to at least my gaming FPS and experience.

Have my eyes on this one in particular, any thoughts?

Note that I am in Canada (QC) and would rather go for a pre-build than parts unless there is a considerable price differential. Also this price is probably the most I would like to spend at the moment.

Thanks in advance!

EDIT - fixed link, apologies!

Good to know and thanks for the responses! (And sorry for broken link)

Should add that I may need to add a monitor to the package, which would have to bring the PC price down.

In short, is there a PC+ 27” Monitor (preferably pre-build as my hands are not to be trusted with delicate work) that goons could recommend to run COD (not a pro gamer but would definitely like to see an upgrade from my PS4) and other latest games without fearing that I will and need an upgrade in two years say around $2000 USD?

Thanks Pilfered! Any thoughts on an intel vs AMD build (asking as this seems to be an intel build)?

Also any recommendations for a decent/good 120hz 27” (or bigger) monitor to add?

Many thanks for the responses. Starting to look like the ABS you suggested Pilfered may be a good fit for my budget, paired with a gigabyte m27Q 27” screen (1440p, 170hz). Keeps my budget under a neat 2k CAD which doesn’t seem unreasonable.
