Building PC for around 650USD ! Any recommendation ?

[Profanez]

So I've been lately thinking about upgrading my PC but as soon that I realize how problematic and crappy my motherboard is (and pretty much all the other pieces) I decided to simply go for a fresh PC (building it from scratch no even the shitty case). I am currently living in Canada and I will get my pieces from Canada Computer. I would like to know what pieces would you recommend me since my budget is 850CAN$ which is about 650USD$.
I am looking for a gaming PC of course 😀
(Pref PCpartpicker)
(I prefer Intel over AMD but I don't really mind if it's smooth)

The GTX 960 is the best for your budget. I would suggest the 280X but AMD cards over in other countries besides the US are a little bit more pricier. The GTX 960 is very similar to the 280X in terms of performance, but the 280X is like 50 canadian more over in canada.
