My only games that I play a lot is sc2, d3, lol, wow, crysis3, farcry 3 and ca. I might download other games but not a serious pc gamer. I have a laptop that I spent around 700 but it was a regret purchase and now I am in need of a switch however, I have a $300-400 budget pushing it to around $450.
Can you make me a build that is in that range that can play all those games on high settings?

I just add the list for you, total price is just under $400, and you can see the MB, RAM and GPU is not that good, if you upgrade them then you also need other PSU for the new GPU too, that means you can get the lower budget PC...

windows will be added but the pc itself has to be around $350
Crysis 3 and farcry 3 were just games I wanted to play but I dont have to. I don't even have a lot of time but for the games I do have, which is sc2, d3, lol, wow, and ca, can you build one?
