I am referring to the very first build on the site (the cheapest). I am a high school student who recently started working part-time at McDonalds. The first thing that I want to save up and buy for myself is a computer. Well, more specifically, the parts I need to build a gaming computer. As you may imagine, I am on a tight budget and am really struggling to pull together money to get my PC together. So obviously I have to build cheap. The build on the site above seems the best way to go, but I am looking for opinions. I would like my PC to be able to run any game smoothly on mid settings. I don't know anything about system specs so I am at a loss. Does the build above appear as it it will do the trick? Thanks in advance!

How much of an improvement would that card be? I would love to make the build cheaper anyway. Will it fit into this build? Are there any other similar improvements you can make?

http://elitegamingcomputers.com/2013-budget-gaming-pc-build/ How about this one? I see that the first one is made for upgrading. How good would either of these two PC's be?

For that last one, it seems like I could get a way cheaper motherboard and a little bit of a cheaper CPU without integrated graphics and then pick up a decent graphics card, but I don't know. I really have no idea what is good or what fits with what... :/ thanks for any help you can provide!

Thank you! That is fantastic. I actually have a pretty good monitor already and a basic keyboard and mouse, so it looks like all I have to add to that is the operating system. How well will this run? Some games I would like to be able to play are Guild Wars 2, Amnesia: The Dark Descent, Diablo 3, League of Legends, Dota 2, SMITE, and Tribes: Ascend. I would like to be able to run whatever is out though. Thanks again.
