I just decided to start building my own computer because people say it's way cheaper than pc in stores. I'd like to have some help about the parts considering that I WON'T need any peripherals. With the computer, I want to be able to play games at HIGH 1080p with 60 fps while be able to stream on twitch at 720p. I may also edit some videos, but it will be very rare. Any ideas for a pc under 800$ CAD***** ?

One of the main game I play is League of Legends, but I'll be glad if I can play other games such as Titanfalls, BF4, etc

It is alright but the build above it with the r9 280x will be better for gaming. Compared to ScrewySqrl's build the mobo upgrade will only help with overclocking, the RAM is a sidegrade (meaning it will perform the same), the gpu is a downgrade, the case is an upgrade and the psu is kinda a upgrade. XFX uses a seasonic OEM so it is basically the same but not gold rated or modular. The build you put together will work fine but I would try to push the GPU up to a r9 280x or gtx 770 if you can.
