Hey everyone, I'm starting to find my PC not good enough for the games I wanna play and the things I wanna do. So I have decided on building a new PC. I play games like League of Legends, Diablo 3, World of Warcraft, Borderlands, Civ 5, Dark Souls, and Skyrim. So can you guys give me a bare bones budget build and an expensive version? Both so I can mix and match parts. Thanks so much :)

What do you guys think of this build?

Not bad by any means

I would personally get a better cooler considering the cost of every other part, but it'll get the job done and done right
