Thank you everybody for helping me out so quickly!

 

I may or may not change a few parts out later on, but here is my chosen build https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/wHjqVY

I was hoping to only spend about $1200, but I could pull together an extra couple hundred to make it happen.

 

this is tdeo's suggested build but I added a WIFI-Adapter and an OS.

 

If you guys still want to suggest me builds that would be cool, I can still take suggestions.

I did a quick search of 'Ryzen', and uh are those going to lower the prices of other i7? I would prefer an i7 if possible opposed to the i5 that was picked out.
