im looking for some help, im building a new computer but im on about a 750-800 budget, im buying a used i7-2600 from a friend for 120, the rest im buying off newegg piece by piece not all at once so i do have some play in the budget just nothing over $240(case, psu, ram,cpu cooler,video card,mobo, and hard drive). i know its a low budget but i think this is the best place for some advice on building a good computer, my goal is to run starcraft 2 and diablo 3 on max settings if possible.

You already have the CPU so that takes $300 off the price tag bringing it down to $713.19. You can also get rid of the SSD and save another $90 if your budget is really tight.
