Hey there. Try this:

I stole it from another user and the links are for amazon, but you can find everything the same on newegg. Hope this helps!

It has the i5 and a graphics card that will run all of the games you mentioned very well.

Hi there, thanks for using my blog. Always feel free to do so

About the PSU, even a good 400W PSU will run that setup, because the GPU only consumes around 120W. The rest of the PC, barely 100W. The Antec VP450 happens to be a quality PSU that's also really cheap. If you really want more, get something like a Corsair CX500. But you wouldn't need to.

But, swap the CPU for the i5 2500K, and the mobo for the ASRock Extreme3 Gen3. Also, swap the GPU for the 560Ti. Also, get the HYper 212 EVO cooler.

ALso, will you overclock?

Is there a big difference between i5 2400 and i5 2500k

Apart from the ability to overclock, the real world performance is very similar.
