I am looking to build a PC for mostly gaming with around a $700-$800 budget (including monitor but not including mouse and keyboard). Can you please tell me what parts to buy?

Budget Range: 700-800 before mouse and keyboard and after monitor.

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, internet, typing on Microsoft word.

Are you buying a monitor: Yes.

Parts to Upgrade: Everything, it's a new build.

Do you need to buy OS: Yes

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg, Amazon, or anything that's trusted.

Location: Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada

Parts Preferences: Corsair Graphite Series 230T Orange Windowed Mid Tower Case.

Overclocking: I don't really know.

SLI or Crossfire: I don't really know.

Your Monitor Resolution: 1920 x 1080.

Additional Comments: I'd like it to be a little more on the quiet side

Games: Battlefield 4, Titanfall, Minecraft, and other games if new ones come out that look good.

And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: I want my own computer instead of using the family pc.

Include a list of any parts you have already selected with descriptively labeled links for parts. Please do not post only links.: Graphite Series 230T Windowed Compact Mid-Tower Case Rebel Orange

Is that $7-800 USD or Canadian? I really do suck at trying to make budget builds under Canadian currency. It just seems that much more harsh...
