Hello community! (I'm new to this)
My name is Colin, I'm currently selling my laptop for half of the money I need to buy a build I have created. My budget is about $650-$700 but I would like to run a list of games on medium to high settings.
List of Games:
- Archeage
- League of Legends
- Payday 2 (Takes some good specs)
- Crysis 3 (Takes some good specs)

My Current Build:

-This is not the best build, which is why I'm coming to you guys :D  I want your opinions on compatibility, anything to make it better without raising the price a lot
Things I want to stay similar:
-The CPU, I'm hoping to stay with an AMD processor
-The GPU, I trust Nvidia the most when it comes to gaming
-The Motherboard, you can change this up, I just want a decent amount of USB ports, and a 7.1 surround card for my razer headphones

Besides that change anything up and reply with opinions and anything you can offer to help me with. Thankyou!!

There are few notes I wish to make:
For 700 bucks build, spending 100+ on a case is too much. Those money can be put into performance.
I know you want to stay with AMD, but the I5 is the best price/performance gaming processor there is. Even the I3 wins over FX6300 in more half the benches.

Should I buy a CPU cooler for it or is the one that comes with it fine?
