Can anyone suggest a gaming pc that'll be able to run some future games such as AC Unity and Far Cry 4 at 1080p ultra settings? Preferably under $900 canadian dollars. Also I will probably be overclocking the cpu and gpu.

Hate to burst your bubble, but I doubt a $900 budget will be running those at ultra, unless we're talking under 60 FPS, maybe even under 30. And what'll be more important? CAD or gaming? CAD is CPU intensive from the 30 seconds of research I did. Games lean more on GPUs.

Here is a good reference guide for choosing your parts based on different budgets. http://www.hardware-revolution.com/best-mainstream-gaming-pc-march-2014/

Will the pentium be ok even though it only has 2 cores?
