I'd like to build a gaming PC around $500-550 max. I have a monitor, keyboard, mouse and OS. Pretty much just want to run LoL, WoW's new expac, Reaper of Souls Diablo 3, maybe ESO? Regardless, just need some help putting something together! Thanks!

you can start from here
most online games is CPU intensive, so six cores will be very helpful
at that budget, you can only afford Radeon 260X
Radeon 270 is about $180
