Halp me build this PC to go with a 49" curved.

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

Gaming and coding. Games like Hitman 3, WoW, Valheim, RDR2. Whatever new AAA games come out in the next years.

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

$3k 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 Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy.

Within a week or 2. New desk top is coming in this week. So excited!

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

Just the tower and parts inside. MB, GPU, CPU, SSD, yada yada that stuff.

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?

Quebec, Canada.

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

Reusing keyboard and mouse. Razer ornata chroma and logitech G something mouse.

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

Possibly. If I do it'd be down the line.

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)

RTX 3070 and a large enough SSD or 2 ideally.

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?

Something white that I can see guts inside. Mid preferably. Not too giant.

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

Nope.

Extra info or particulars:

So the only things I'd want 100% is minimum a 3070 and a decent sized SSD or 2. Everything else I'd just like to be future proof for at least a few years. I don't like upgrading all the time, lol. Also keep in mind I'll be pairing this with Samsung's 49 inch curved monitor, the RG90, and another vertical monitor. So it should be able to handle that for a while.

Depending how much of a rush you are in, this is one of the only times I would recommend a pre-built. Your other best option would be to wait it out and potentially be able to afford a higher gpu/ and or cpu when prices fall back down. Personally $800 usd (1k cad I believe) is just way too much to pay for a 3070. Personally I'm waiting till prices fall back to upgrade my rig.
