@Coseniath: Thank you, one more question, is this computer able to run games in future like Assassin's creed unity and Call of duty Advanced warfare?

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/BcKJpg this is my build <

if you can build it yourself, you should consider like second handed material.I made a pc from partly second hand parts. I bought the cpu (i5-3470) for 90$, a harddrive for 15$ and i bought the rest new.I paid about 650$ but you can pretty much build the same for a 100 $ less.

Specs

i5-3470

2 x 4 gb kingston hyperx 1866 mhz (you can do with 1 stick of 4gb and 1 stick of 2 gb running at 1333mhz, i doesn't make any difference anyway the memory speed once you're above 1 ghz)

msi- h77ma-g43

msi gtx 750 ti

corsair rm 550 (this psu is a bit expensive though, you could do with a lot less, this one is only 550w but is gold rated, costs about 100$ and is modular). A 50-60$ psu is just fine

western digital velociraptor 300 gb

thermaltake commander case

I'd say the minimum card tier should be an R9 270 or GTX 660, the 270 being a bit better. I've owned both. Anything less is just foolish to consider for any real gaming.

I only mention cards because the most dramatic change in performance resides there.

I think it will be fine enough to run these games at least on high settings @1080p.

If you don't mind used. That or 280x/7970 are cheap too.

Just as long as you don't plan to play them at higher than 1080p, then your golden.

Don't buy pre-built and overpay and have a weak GPU/CPU. Build it yourself with good components.

Also with that money you can buy a PS 3. There are discounts out there for it at $360. With rest of money you can buy internet or games haha. Also Xbox One is given out a free game and that cost like $400. (So you can go the cheaper console route if you are afraid of the game not running up to par)
