I added an SSD (not sure if you want that) for fast OS booting and fast game loading. I also changed RAM to Corsair, and a better graphics card. Now you just have to deicde if you want the cheaper price or the build that is somewhat better.

Edit:o ops! Read your budget wrong. I would keep everything the same on your first build but get Corsair RAM.
