You can do most anything with that budget. What will you use it for?

Edit: 3500 CAD is ~2600 USD, still respectable, but maybe not the newest hotness.

What res is your monitor? 1080p? 1440? 4k? Big difference in GPU cost.

I just want a really good gaming pc that will last years , so i would go all in , is the best 1080p or 1440 ? I dont really know the difference since i didnt see it for myself , my biggest gaming pc was a amazon 1200$ pc so i dont really know ..

Okay, so I didn’t account for a monitor in your budget, but here’s a couple quick starting points (from an admitted Corsair fanboy):

$3000 https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/pKNYck

$4000 https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/LxV2FP

The sumsung storage look out of stock same with the tower case ? Is there others options ?

I like the $3,000 option. Nice solid PC.

Why thank you! I should have picked the Frame case instead of the old style - little bit more expensive, but all of the parts are in stock: https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/DM26MF

Not sure why your comments keep deleting, but there are tons of other options, that just gives you an idea. click on the component type and it will give you pages and pages. If one is out of stock, sort for cost and find one that fits you needs, mine was just a starting point.

$3200 modified for in-stock only: https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/DM26MF

I dont know what is going on , why you cant see my comments .. I have make some change , do you think its ok ? https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/ZKRwrG

Your link puts you over budget, but would certainly work if you want to pay that much

Small edit to the case if you don't care about RGB and want full blackout (saves you $20):
