Best $800 Canadian gaming PC

[Clanscorpia]

My friend is building a gaming PC and his budget is $800 CAD. He does light gaming and plays CS:GO and streams sometimes but he'd like to play better games like AAA titles at 1080p at med-high at 60fps. None of my builds will work because of streaming and I don't know what parts to use for streaming so I can't make a build Thanks!

Bit over budget, but it's probably the best you're going to be able to do, an FX 8 core might be better for streaming, but will bottleneck the GPU depending on some games

i would go with something like this, an i5-4460 or i5-6400 would be better but it push the budget...you would have to go to weak on the GPU...so i suggest this instead:
