That site is a royal pain to use, but I took a crack at it. I couldn't find a way to link the build, so I screenshotted it. I forgot to save room for the OS and it pushed me just over budget but at least it's a starting point for someone else to make suggestions to bring it down. Cases and motherboards are not my forte, so someone should probably glance at those first.
You can fit a 4670k and Z87 motherboard into the CA$1200 budget alongside an OS if you drop the OS load and the SSD. If you can assemble the parts yourself, then you'll shave off a small amount (CA$40) which can be spent on the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO for mild overclocking.
I accidentally forgot a PSU in the first build, so tack $50 onto it to start. The "Assemble Hardware/Load OS" is the closest thing to the $70 installation he mentioned in the OP, so unless you can convince him to build it himself we can't drop it. If we can convince him to install Windows himself, we can at least drop it to $40 though. In addition to this, unless I'm missing some currency conversion, his budget is $1100, not $1200 so more than $100 needs to be dropped from this build, which the SSD drop almost handles. A 4670K from this website is $250, plus $35 212 Evo pushes it back up almost $100 overbudget. The cheapest Z87 is $30 more than the motherboard I picked, which is canceled by dropping the hard drive to 1TB.
So at the end of all the changes, we're $10 higher than where we started. If we can convince him to Install windows or build it himself, he's down to only about $100 overbudget.
way better build with hiher quality case, a gtx 770 and a better psu + 70$ cheaper.
really noone should be afraid nowadays putting the parts together by himself. there a tons and tons of video guides on youtube and even then, if u should get stuck, i guess everybody on this forum will gladly help u.
edit.: forgot an optical drive if u need it. will cost around 15$
