This will easily max out everything at 1080p, and is fairly compact.

Don't waste money on 16GB of RAM, and don't get the RM750, the RM series uses inferior capacitors and isn't very good for overclocking/high heat situations.

Not to mention the be Quiet! isn't available at Newegg Canada and that build is about $400 over budget lol

If he's not going to be overclocking why did you recommend he spend a ton of extra money wasting it on parts specifically for overclocking? Even then, the RM series is poor quality for what it costs. And he is in Canada and can only buy from Newegg Canada (check the OP), making whatever it costs in the US pointless. I just put that build together on Newegg Canada and it comes out to $1934 CAN, with the exception of the Dark Rock 3, as that's not available to him.
