Can you make a list for me that adds up to $1500 - $1600 CAD Also I am 13 so please explain like I'm 5 also I will get help from my dads friend who knows a lot about computers. I will buy my stuff from Memory Express so they have a price match keep that in mind. 

 

1. Budget & Location

My budget is $1500 CAD I live in Alberta, Canada

2. Aim
I need this to run Minecraft, Dota 2, CSGO and many other new titles whilst recording and live streaming. Also need it to run 3D editors and stuff as Adobe after effects.
 

3. Monitors
I will use one my friend has an extra.

4. Peripherals

My friend has windows 7 ultimate on a flash drive and I will buy the Cooler Master Devastator Combo for $30

5. Why are you upgrading?

Because my laptop can't run anything it always turns off after 5 min of use.

^Solid build. If you need to bring the price down a bit OP, just change the 16GB to 8GB RAM and you're there. :P
