I've always been tech-savvy, though historically more on the software side of things, so do forgive my initial inexperience. I've been reading non-stop on how to hunt for a good build though I've much more learning to do.
Here is what I have thus far (credit to a Redditor InSigniaX, though he warned me he was new to recommendations and the suggestion was provided for the US- I am in Canada- this is translated to Canadian prices and is $100 more expensive than the US build).

Looking for a quality gaming PC given the price range; baseline budget is $700 (parents will cover) and everything above that is on me. The closer the balance between the excess I am to be charged and performance boosts, the better. I'd rather have a 6-year lifespan PC having paid $900 for it than a $700 rig with a 3-year lifespan. Remember, I live in Canada (Quebec).
EDIT:
Notes;
-Will be using FRAPS to record StarCraft II commentary
-Folding@Home when not in use
-Need an OS, wireless card, decent gaming keyboard, monitor if well-priced (I have old ones laying around and can resort to that if nothing is available).
Many thanks in advance!
