I have a budget of after tax 700. All I want to do is play World of Warcraft and League of Legends   with a little web searching and netflix viewing every now and then. I dont need a mouse, keyboard or monitor. I'd appreciate helpful feedback that would help me get as close as possible to my goal (High settings on both games with smooth gameplay)

Here's a MUCH better build for the same price

CPU-AMD FX 6300
RAM-Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB (2 x 4GB) 1600
GPU-GIGABYTE GV-R927XOC-2GD Radeon R9 270X 2GB
Motherboard-GIGABYTE GA-970A-D3P AM3+/AM3 AMD 970
HDD-Western Digital WD Blue 1TB
Power Supply-XFX Core Edition PRO650W
Case-NZXT Source 210
OS- Windows 7 HP SP1 (OEM) (64 BIT)

This should be able to run all games including WOW, League of Legends and other games at 1080p. There's no optical Drive (If you have a Old computer, take out the Optical Drive) and you don't need a sound card, sound cards are built into all MOBO's!

Imho you should get this computer instead. It has faster GPU, better motherboard for overclock, great PSU and case:
