1. Budget & Location
~$600 CAD. I'm in a unique situation because I cannot use Newegg, or any other place that doesn't ship to a P.O box. I live in Canada, Manitoba. In a rural location.
 

2. Aim
Web browsing, Skyrim, League Of Legends, CS:GO, and a few other non intensive games. Would love to be able to record matches, ect. On my current computer I have to choose between browser, league, and skype. I can't have more than 2 programs open. 

3. Monitors
Have one, 1080p BenQ G2320HDB, might consider upgrading to two in the future so I could be watching a stream while playing the game I want to play. 
 

4. Peripherals
I have all mine, including a monitor, just need build parts and an OS.

5. Why are you upgrading?
My current computer sucks, and it's starting to show its age (8 year old PC).

Ofc it would but I guess he may need a GPU, not really good at doing budget builds :/
