Any issues?? My first build, Could definitely use the advice

[mnico45]

I recently made the decision to build a new desktop that can run games like Dishonored, Skyrim, Witcher 2 at a decent setting. My ideal budget would be $650~ I know that this isn't enough for a top of the line gaming PC but its the most i can commit to this project at right now. Other uses for this computer would be occasional photo editing(photoshop elements 11), internet browsing,and streaming movies. This is what I'm thinking of starting out with:
