on pcpartpicker.com this build comes up to ~$580.71
I mainly play games like League of Legends right now, but I want to play more modern games once I get the computer to handle them. I love to play games like Skyrim, World of Warcraft, and occasionally fps games like Battlefield. I would like to play Star Wars Battlefront when it comes out but I'm not sure if this build will handle games that big.
Thanks for any help!

To be honest, not very good. Skyrim and WoW are not very AMD friendly titles. The 250x is pretty low end, graphics wise, as well. This would be a better solution, for a few dollars more.

Thank you for the help and listing the parts. I will use this build, though I may later decide to spend extra to upgrade a few parts, but I am happy that you gave me a better starting point.
