Budget : 990$ - 1100$CAD

I want to get a new gaming pc for around my budget. Would like to play games at around 60 fps and do some recording.

Suggest any builds! Thank you!

I wouldn't say that build does it for "way less". By the time you convert to CAD, you're looking right around $1,000.
The RX480's appear to have problematic power draws, so until the aftermarket cards come out (and hopefully fix the issue), I'm not fully comfortable recommending a 480 - unfortunately, the alternatives cost a bit more.

I'd stick with a 390 for the time being:

Of course, you can make the call whether you're prepared to deal with some of the RX480 'issues' or not.
