970 is not worth anymore. 3.5GB of VRAM is too low going into the future. 6GB minimum if buying new.

As for CPU - i5 6500 minimum

How much CAD? You mention Canadian Dollar, yet don't mention the amount of CAD you want to spend :P

Anyways, go for the i5 6500 and a non overclocking motherboard or i5 6600K and a Z170 motherboard if you have the money. And the GTX 970 is not that relevant anymore , it has not been since the release of the R9 390X IMO. Go for the 8GB RX 480 when it comes out (if it's actually a good, remember it's not out and I'm just going off what AMD promises us)

i5 6500 + RX 480 should be fine

My i5-4590 is only bottlenecking my GTX 1070 at framrates above 100 in most AAA games at 1080p so the RX480 8GB and a i5-6500 is 100% fine
