Basically my nephew would like a gaming pc for his birthday, and of course he was interested in one of the ibuypower pc's.
I want to build a computer that's cheaper and better than the one in the link below.
He wI'll need a monitor, os, and an on board wifi connection since he's at college.
Can you guys help me out? I apologize if I used the wrong format, still new here.
Also he will be using it for games like bf4 and starcraft and would like to run the games on mid to high

The GT 639 is not design for gaming and will barely get good frames on medium and above to be honest.

Tweaked your build to throw in a better GPU. OP, this will run modern games at a mix of medium and high settings at 1080p.

Tiny Voices has the best listing, by far, but omits the OS and wireless card.
Since the requirement is for "Mid to High" settings, it would be appropriate to lower the graphics card to a R7 260X or even R7 260 to make room in the budget; this is easy to upgrade later.
While a few other things might be lowered a little as well, in general the quality and longevity of the parts he has selected make them the vastly better choices. You may find a suitable case for a little less though; perhaps $30-$35.

Actually $65, $10 is from a promo code, which would make it $5-10 more than the XFX initially but you get the money back. It's $20 higher than the EVGA which can be regarded as considerable, but it's a much better PSU and will be cheaper after the rebate. Is it difficult to get the rebate or something?

Is it difficult to get the rebate or something?There's no guarantee if or when you'll get the rebate you mailed in. Lots of people have problems with their rebates. I also like to avoid them if possible.
Also that promo code expires today and I doubt many people would buy it before the offer expires.

Rebates are a crapshoot. Also, the EVGA is made by Superflower, one of few companies actually in Seasonic's league.
My only concern about it is that USB wireless adapters tend to have miserable antennas, making them slow and prone to sporadic connection issues. After using a $35 PCIe x1 adapter, I concluded that the expense was definitely worthwhile. The Microcenter price is no doubt in-store only, so it may or may not be an option. Sometimes they have excellent CPU+mobo combo deals though. OP, if you're near a Microcenter, it's worth checking them out.

You guys are all smart, but who's rig suggestion are you guys thinking would be most beneficial.
I'm also seeing a lot of i3 and amd processors would he notice a difference.
Would it be smart to run the gtx 750, I see its talked about a lot on this forum. Or are the cards suggested in this thread already better?

EVGA pulled a fast one. The original Supernova units were very good quality and reviewed very well. The NEX units were not very good. So what do they do? Throw the words Supernova in front of the word NEX to confuse everyone. This is Corsair level sleaziness and it makes me not want to buy from EVGA.

Jonnyguru gave a decent score for the 500b. For a budget unit, they are acceptable quality.

I'm with tiny voices on this one. I'd choose a B series over a CX, but unless the budget was super tight i'd pony up for an XFX. I do feel that EVGA might have learn't their lesson, they have suffered for putting out the lower quality units and they seem to be trying to restore their rep. Also the G2 is often the cheapest high end 1000w PSU so it's pretty hard to pass up in builds that require one.

Thanks for all the help guys. I cut my nephew a check and I guess he and his buddies will build a pc with suggestions you guys gave.
So since you guys got me excited can you tell me if my family computer can be turned into a gaming pc.
How would my processor handle a r7 260 or 260x

Yes, definitely possible. You would need a PSU upgrade since the units that come with prebuilts are usually crap.
Another person tried to add a graphics card to the same pc you have and although they did run across some problems, it was possible:
