Quick cheap gamer rig

[Blu]

I'm looking to do a cheap gamer build with some nice mid range parts and trying to keep the price low,

1. What YOUR PC will be used for. That means what types of tasks you'll be performing.
Home use and gaming for the kid. So basically a web browsing pc with a little kick for gaming (thinking a decent ATI card will be able to do this :) )

2. What YOUR budget is. A price range is acceptable as long as it's not more than a 20% spread
650-800 (will goto 900 if its absolutely worth it)

3. What country YOU will be buying YOUR parts from.
Ncix, newegg.ca Canada

4. IF YOU have a brand preference. That means, are you an Intel-Fanboy, AMD-Fanboy, ATI-Fanboy, an I'm usually a fanboy but cheapest the better here.

5. If YOU intend on using any of YOUR current parts, and if so, what those parts are.
Current parts are quite dated, so no.

6. IF YOU have searched and/or read similar threads.
Yes, I've looked alot alot of custom cheap builds that look good for 700 dollars

7. IF YOU plan on overclocking or run the system at default speeds.
No overclocking

8. WHEN do you plan to build it?
Asap, possibly order parts tomorrow

9. What resolution do you use?
Don't know, probably mid ranged.

To costly dan, with this what I got going now puts me at a great price range, just need to toss in a copy of win 7 and It's good to go.

Edit: Actually I'm going to make a i3 system cause I did tell him I would make a couple set ups for him to see tomorrow.
