So, I'm a new PC builder. As in: first build ever. I do know a bit of computers and how they work. Not enough to select my own parts (Yet...) , though. So, I want a decent gaming PC at max $700 dollars. Here are my 2 options:

Monitor, Keyboard, & Mouse:
Monitor: Acer- S1 Series 20" Widescreen Flat-Panel LED HD Monitor - Black $90

Now, I want it to run relatively smooth in medium and sometimes low settings with these games: Star Wars: The Old Republic, Planetside 2, Starcraft 2: Heart of The Swarm, Minecraft, Guild Wars 2, Simcity (I know some problems right now are the servers' fault.), The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim, and just RTS, FPS, MMO, and general Indie video games. Thanks in advance! Also, I'd rather have one of those options, but other builds are also good. But, please, no more decisions!
