Hello, right now I have a toaster 7 years old and it is really bad. I can barely play any games so I was thinking of building a new computer. As I make money every two weeks, I dont have a strict budget but I would like to get this computer as soon as possible so the cheaper the better. I am only thinking of play light games like League of Legends, Maplestory, Tera, and others. Is this computer good enough? Can I change anything to make it better for the price? I would like it if it doesnt go over $700.

Looks appropriate.
Your cpu can drive a much stronger graphics card so I might try to use a stronger psu in the 600w range to allow a future graphics upgrade.
I will never again build without using a SSD for the OS.
It just makes everything you do so much quicker.
A one hour widows update will take 15 minutes.
Files open instantly.
A 120gb ssd will hold the OS and a half dozen games.
Consider deferring on the hard drive, you can always add one later.
With a 240gb ssd, you may never need a hard drive.
I like Samsung EVO for the ssd.

Looks good, though I'd suggest a better PSU (A Seasonic or XFX), and also probably a bigger HDD, preferably an SSHD (unless you plan to get an SSD as an upgrade) to speed up boot times and just using programs on Windows. Other than that it looks decent.
