Recently, I read the PC Gamer magazine in our local library. PC Gamer Nov 2021 issue.
On the last few pages of the magazine, there are three builds of PC for game players.
Let me put it here. Maybe many years later, I can look at it and see how PC looks like now.

Here below I make my own Budget Build list for the Canadian market.
I would like to use Amazon.ca price Today for reference. If there is more than one seller on it, I will choose the one with Amazon’s Choice icon.
And some module has an updated version with a better price. I will choose it for the best replacement.
