Budgeting a 700 dollar computer.

I'm planning to buy a computer in the near future, and my budget is around 700-750 dollars. I'm a light gamer, Wizard101, Minecraft, Bastion, Transistor, not anything too heavy duty. The only things that I need in this build are a Samsung Evo 120GB, and a Monitor, no other peripherals such as an OS, Keyboard, etc.

I changed my mind, I don't need an HDD. So comparing the build by Prömetheus and the one I just posted, which is better? Or even this....
