Hi this will be my first build so I'm not sure what's good or not and I'm quite lost on basically everything.
My budget is around $1000 and am shopping for my parts in Canada.
I'll be using this pc to play mostly modded Minecraft and other games like Dead by Daylight. I plan to also use this pc for illustrations on Clip Studio Paint.
Any suggestions would be great!

The PC looks like a decent all-rounder to me. In a perfect world and lower prices you should balance it to have more RAM, e.g. 16GB, and a stronger GPU, e.g. a GTX 16660 Super or RTX 2060. But at current market prices, unless you find a great deal on a GPU you'll pay heavy price premiums.

If you need a PC now, go for this, you can always upgrade the GPU at a later date once prices come back down.
