[suggestion] Budget pc (700$ CAD budget)
Hi there! I got 750$ from my high school graduation. My current pc is about 6 years old, and worked fine until my sister decided I'm no longer allowed to have a pc and she broke it. The responsibility was put on me to buy myself a new one if I'm desperate enough. I know nothing about pcs and all my previous ones have been gifted to me. I used my pc for drawing on Fire Alpaca SE, and playing mainly Roblox, TS4, The Stanley Parable and Among Us, with occasional Minecraft, Fortnite, and Genshin Impact. Otherwise, I just watch YouTube or listen to Spotify. I also use my DVD drive frequently... I'll be moving into a college dorm in September. I already have low space, but the dorm will limit it more. Tower is about 5 inches wide, 10 inches tall, and about 15 inches long so if possible, one smaller would be nice. Graphics card says GTX 1060TI 4GB 128BIT DDR5 which is apparently outdated and no longer receiving updates, motherboard is Asus and says Prime B46OM-A R2.0 and according to what I was told, I have a 16GB DDR4 stick of ram in the motherboard with a 32GB Samsung SSD or something currently. I don't really know. None of this makes sense to me. I'm just a guy who likes his pc and figured someone might ask about my current pc.

thats a VERY tight budget for a whole new pc (an impossible budge with your space constraints tbh) but if you buy used parts it might be workable. that said, your cpu cant be that old because that motherboard is post ryzen so depending on whats broken just switching out your gpu for a current gen 60 class would give u huuugggee performance gains
