Request for a Budget Intel Build
Post Body

What will you be doing with this PC? Be as specific as possible, and include specific games or programs you will be using.

Multitasking is a huge must-have

Working: SQL Developer/Visual Studio/Code/5 windows of Edge and Chrome with 20 tabs open in each (multiple Gmail accounts,2-3 youtube tabs). Slack and MS Teams always on. Adobe XD firing up from time to time. Python development (Spyder/Pycharm) specifically extensive use of very large datasets. Some Excel and Word documents open at all times. Citrix/RDP SSMS

Media: Play 4K Videos in VLC with the above going on. Crave and Netflix tabs open at the same time. Light Gaming: Modern Warfare/ Want to play Exodus (Not a deal-breaker)

What is your maximum budget before rebates/shipping/taxes?

Within 1200 CAD

When do you plan on building/buying the PC? Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy.

2 weeks from now

What, exactly, do you need included in the budget? (Tower/OS/monitor/keyboard/mouse/etc)

Tower Looking for a recommendation on a pocket-friendly monitor upgrade as the one I am using now is not great.

Which country (and state/province) will you be purchasing the parts in? If you're in US, do you have access to a Microcenter location?

Ontario, Canada

If reusing any parts (including monitor(s)/keyboard/mouse/etc), what parts will you be reusing? Brands and models are appreciated.

I don't mind rebuying these if it helps significantly: Video card Zotac GTX GeForce 1650 Monitor Samsung 24D300 Power Supply EVGA 600 W 80 bronze SSD Samsung 850 EVO 250 GB 2 Standard Hard disk drives (around 5000 RPM)

Will you be overclocking? If yes, are you interested in overclocking right away, or down the line? CPU and/or GPU?

Yes right away if it helps the cause.

Are there any specific features or items you want/need in the build? (ex: SSD, large amount of storage or a RAID setup, CUDA or OpenCL support, etc)

I am leaning towards an i7 9th gen build but don't want to overdo anything.

Do you have any specific case preferences (Size like ITX/microATX/mid-tower/full-tower, styles, colors, window or not, LED lighting, etc), or a particular color theme preference for the components?

full tower and nothing fancy

Do you need a copy of Windows included in the budget? If you do need one included, do you have a preference?

I have a copy of Windows.
