800 CAD Budget Gaming Computer

[BarneyInMatrix]

Note that this is Canadian currency(Yes, I do live in Vancouver too). My friend needs a 800~ gaming pc designed for lol. I would say 8 gigs of ram. SSD is optional since my friend says it doesn't matter how fast his computer boots up.

No OS, monitor, and peripherals.

My build right now:

Add a little more for the i5 because many games are moving towards having quad core CPUs as minimum requirments to run the games like FC4, Arkham Knight, etc.
