First time builder. How's it look?

Build Help/Ready:

Have you read the sidebar and rules? (Please do)

Yes.

What is your intended use for this build? The more details the better.

Pretty much to have my own personal computer. I've been sharing a family PC for about 11 years now. My grandma bought us an all in one Dell computer last year and everyone always wants to go on it. My dad spends like 3 hours alone just playing Facebook games. When I get home from work I just wanna relax and go on the PC but I never can unless I'm off the next day. I don't play many PC games since I have both an Xbox 1 and and PS4 but majority of my time is spent playing League of Legends. I'm trying to really take the game seriously and climb to Challenger but I can't when I'm pretty much on a schedule because it's the family PC. Other games I play: GameCube/PS2 emulators, Trickster, Killing Floor 2, StarCraft 2, Diablo 3 and very little Overwatch/CSG. I also like watching Kodi on PC and twitch/YouTube. It's weird but the family PC doesn't even look like it's in HD. Is that because of the graphics? (Intel HD 4600).

If gaming, what kind of performance are you looking for? (Screen resolution, FPS, game settings)

For gaming, I don't really care about graphics. As long as the game is fun, that's all I really care about. I mostly care about graphics for the videos and streams I watch. If it's in 1080p I would like to see it in 1080p not the 720p it looks like on my PC. Resolution 1920x1080 and fps preferably 60 or more.

What is your budget (ballpark is okay)?

I was hoping my budget would be $500-800 since I don't really want/need a super computer for the games I play but most builds end up in the 1000, which is fine, it just delays buying a chair until next pay.

In what country are you purchasing your parts?

Canada.

Post a draft of your potential build here (specific parts please). Consider formatting your parts list. Don't ask to be spoonfed a build (read the rules!).

Provide any additional details you wish below.

Maybe not a detail but a question. Would building a PC jack up the price of bills? We already can't go on the PC from 5-7 because of on peak hours, I wouldn't want to make the bills just skyrocket. I'd be on the PC from 1pm-5pm if I'm off then 7pm-11pm if I work, if not 7pm-4am. If it will skyrocket I'm willing to help my dad pay the bills, how much would be a good amount to give him? Lastly how does the build look for a first timer? Is there anything that I should downgrade? If there is an instance where I should downgrade something I could downgrade then upgrade elsewhere.
