I would like you's or you to tell me the BEST computer for me to build with the name's of the parts youve chosen and prices included - in USD. Im looking to spend around 500$ USD so that would be roughly around $700 canadian, unfortunately that is my budget. Im looking to stream, edit videos and play titles like Battlefield 1, Overwatch, Rainbow 6 Siege etc.. ALL with GOOD fps. Please help me. Thanks!

How about this? If you need to lower the price, you can go with a NVIDIA GTX 960, but it may struggle at 1080p with the latest AAA games. If you have wiggle room (or don't need to buy Windows), you can bump up the video card to a 1050 Ti, or a 1060, bump the CPU up to a i5-6500, and switch to a Hybrid Hard Drive, like the Seagate FireCuda, or a Solid State Drive like the Samsung 850 Evo.

What monitor are you using, and what is the resolution? Playing all of those with GOOD FPS and a budget PC, is going to require you to turn down the settings a bit. Try playing at 720p if you have a 1080p display. Try turning off Anti-Aliasing (AA), etc...let me work on a build now...

Yes, that's the total in Canadian.

Bumping up to a true quad-core i5-6500 would be a great move. Much more future proof. The i3-6100 is dual-core + hyperthreading, which ALMOST simulates a quad-core. Only problem is the i5-6500 would add about $100 to your cost.

You may want to wait for Black Friday/Cyber Monday (assuming you guys have that up there?), a combo deal on that day may get you closer to your target budget.
