Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Budget: no more than $2k(canadian)
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg & amazon
Location: Canada
Do you need to buy OS: yes
Parts Preferences: Anything reliable
Overclocking: No
SLI or Crossfire: probably not

this is what i suggest..
An i5 is more than enough for gaming but since he will be using internet and probably will be multitasking so went with the i7..
