Hey guys I'm wanting to build a computer for my parents for Christmas.

I have a 800 USD budget with no peripherals.

Want it to be high quality and with a black or nothing that stands out.

Thanks for any help and +Rep for help!

Will probably only have moderate usage.

I'd like it to having gaming capabilities, of course not maxing out anything.

Just want it to be very reliable.

Little bit over, smaller form factor which should be more convenient;

You could drop the HDD or SSD if you don't need anything fast or mass storage, or get a 950 instead of a 380 if you want to lessen gaming performance for a lower cost.

This is, if you don't mind spending most of your budget. If not then an i3 and maybe cheaper motherboard/RAM will do you fine.

Not a lot of info to go on, but you shouldn't need to spend that much. Something like this would be fine;
