(Is there a more appropriate community to post this in?) Thank you in advance for any advice/help!
I’ve come across this build on PC part picker, but I was hoping someone could help me customize it a bit better for my needs. I’m going to be streaming, gaming, and editing videos on this machine.

I would like to future-proof the PC as much as I reasonably can (10-15 years’ usage would be great).
My budget is probably around 2-3k CAD? I am over extending myself slightly, but I have used my PC daily for 12 years, and I figure if not now, when?
The only other thing I might consider is new monitors, but otherwise, I’ll be reusing all my peripherals as those are more recently upgraded!
I was also thinking a better Nvidia card might be worthwhile? The main thing is I’m not familiar with how the parts work in terms of compatibility. That and electrical usage/needs from the power supply
Edit: are prebuilts any good nowadays? I’m not opposed to the idea. I know I could figure out assembly myself, but if there’s something worthwhile, I wouldn’t be opposed either.
The next best thing is the 4090, which spiked in price because Nvidia conveniently stopped manufacturing them a little while ago.
Ooof what the heck happened to PC parts? Is this still from the pandemic?
I just looked online and locally, the best I can find is a 4070. But online the 4090’s are going for $3700+? At that rate I might be better off just getting a prebuilt with a 4090 right?
GPUs have been all over the place ever since the push to sell
snake oilAI.Don’t go for a “4070” if you want it to last.
I recommend a minimum of 16GB vram which for nvidia starts with the “4070ti Super”
Thats coincidentally the card i have myself. Am pretty happy with it. But it still can struggle with cyberpunk in 4k
