Hello, i wish to build a $700 US Dollar gaming pc. The aim for this will be to play light to medium games such as minecraft , portal 1-2 half life 1-2, 5 nights at Freddy's and Garry's mod. i don't have any interest in the far cry 3 or battle field type games. i want to run 2 1080p monitors. 1 for gaming and another for web browsing, YouTube, or Netflix. i don't need a hard drive,i don't want an optical drive nor any other peripherals, just the pc. i dont need an os. the reason im upgrading is because my amd apu (e-450) doesnt do what i want it to. Thank You!

The build @MattWakey suggested is better than what I was going to suggest. I would go with his build
