Friends Build :3

[ShadowBlazinIce]

Hi, my friend is going to build his own PC after i finish my build.
He said he wants a Black Themed with RGB Gaming PC.
He already has a monitor, keyboard. If possible help me find a good black mouse.
His budget is $600 to $800 but you can go a little bit higher than the budget.
He will be using the PC for gaming.
He lives in Canada so we will be using CAD instead of USD
Of course there's a sale going on in https://www.canadacomputers.com/index.php so if you can try to find part here.

His current setup is a legit 1x1 box called the "The Mac Mini" so its pretty crappy...
He's switching to windows btw

This includes Windows 10, but if you already have a copy or can get it for cheaper, then I can fix it accordingly.

What's the monitor he owns, it helps to know it's full resolution (and size) before picking out a video card for example.

What keyboard also?  (Since we're picking a mouse to match).

 

-Bear in mind, that with a budget of 800CAD, worrying about RGB or fancy looks will hurt performance as that's more a frill you spend money on if you have lots of budget room.  If it's only a few bucks more for a black CPU cooler over a white one, sure that's easy to fit in, but when it comes to paying up for RGB if he values performance, than I would let that take a backseat for parts that will have more FPS per $

that does not answer my question, I was looking for a model or the specs that I called for like: screen resolution and size.

Here's an Intel build with a few tweaks that I kept in-budget.  Let's assume the remaining $25 in the budget goes to getting a Win10 key a more budget way (or just install Win10 unactivated for now since that just blocks desktop changing).
