Hello! im a big noob to when it comes with computers, but i love to game. I decided to build my own PC with a friend. I have no idea what to do or what to get. Friends told me to come to here and create a post.
My budget is $400-$800, if you have any parts please post them and ill look them up when i have the time
I also live in Canada so if you can, you can look at https://www.canadacomputers.com/index.php for deals and such (as the time of writing this there is a Boxing Day Sale going on)

Ill be also upgrading the PC along the way
Im also looking for an RGB White or even Black theme
Ill be playing games like Fortnite, League of Legends, Path of Exile, Warframe, Destiny ect.

Im only going to be using one monitor but probably upgrade to a duel monitor when the time comes (probably never)

I already have a mouse and keyboard so none is needed

I already have a monitor, and this is in CAD
Thank You!
-Shadow

If you return parts to Canada Computers, they take 10% as a restocking fee (I learned this the hard way). Don't buy anything from them.

I put my list in USD, I did not include the OS but you can get an OS for about 30$ through some 3rd party vendors.

I chose the 2200g as you can do some decent gaming on it on low settings without a dedicated GPU, but also threw in a 1050ti that you could save up for in the future or something better. 
I went Ryzen as you said you wanted the upgradeablility of a machine.

Good Luck on the Build sir!

Is there no graphics card or is it unnecessary?
