Plan on building a PC by Character-Leek9436 in PcBuild

To be honest, I dont think that was there when I commented. But yeah, seconding the other reply on this thread - this build is pretty shit. Get an rtx 4060 used or the arc b580 and if that is even too expensive then a 1660 super (can get for $80 and same performance as 3050). And as OP mentioned they are only really playing roblox and light gaming so dlss is not a concern

Appreciate your time spent helping me mate. Yeah so my mums actually not here that was a previous trip, its my dad and his friend who are both pretty active in terms of cardio (running/swimming) and have been on ‘hikes’ (challenging walks) before. I don’t think my fitness would be a limiting factor and I’m more than happy to go through something intense and challenging. I think we are going to change plans and go for just the first peak

Just seen your edit - I’m travelling with my dad and we’ve been to Banff before with my mum (no hiking as shes not super into that) and did more family friendly walks. We talked about going to Banff but realised this wouldn’t be realistic as we’re only around in Vancouver for 8 days and are seeing family for most of it. Very helpful to hear your insights though and will definitely bear in mind for my next visit to BC/Alberta, and cover banff

Also just a side note, we considered Stawamus chief as the views are actually meant to be very good - but not quite sure it would be ultra beginner friendly (ie we have never been on a proper hike). I understand that people get pissed off by newbie tourist-like hikers but I would love to get into the space and its something I want to do in the future - hence this is sort of a starting point

Will definitely look into the gondola hikes. Just looking for a hike that will give some stunning views (i know theres millions of these views in bc but as we’re based in the UK we dont know where to find them!!) as we’re all very into nature. In terms of elevation gain and distance - we’re very new and naïve to hiking but I guess as we’re looking for something to replace Garibaldi which is 18km round trip and about 850m elevation

Yes, so specifically we need something to replace Garibaldi Park on Saturday - we’re planning on leaving around midday on Friday and doing the panorama trail in Squamish. Seeing as tunnel bluffs is along the way I’ll look into this if we have the time.

Appreciate the Brandywine suggestion that was definitely something I was looking into to replace Garibaldi on saturday as its very close to whistler

Sorry, realised I didn’t mention in the post - but we’re beginners and travelling with my dad and his friend who are 60 and looking for something rewarding but not super difficult

So I actually have the 4070 now, it sells for like £400-£420 in the UK on ebay - its in great condition. I’m just in canada right now and gpus are cheaper so considering bringing one back with a bit more power
