This will perform fine in all of those games, the 7770 is a great card for any gaming.

That is really outdated, and most lightly the prices have changed, and new hardware ha come out, making that build pointless.

No. The build I suggested is far better. It has a better CPU, more RAM, a better cooler for the GPU, a bigger HDD and a better PSU.

That's because its $61.51 more and is over the budget but its not your money right? Also, judging my your response your really proud of that build aren't you? Mine is from companies that i bought from before that i think make great products. With a build like yours you won't get good temperatures with a stock cooler , so i guess its another $40 for a cpu cooler.
P.S. You forgot an optical drive so more work to format the flash drive and transfer the OS from disc.

My build
$463.72

Comparison to yours
$527 build
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ] With an optical drive and CPU cooler
Also there's no point in getting a 1TB HDD if he's only playing games unless he's recording or downloading HD videos and also the CPU that you chosen won't be able to goto 4.1GHz because you don't have a cpu cooler in your build, i guess it could but why decrease it's lifespan?

Also here's a another build from me choosing random companies that have the best price, $25 lower, and in which you would say " is far better".
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
1TB HDD, 8GB RAM,750W ATX/BTX PSU, a newer GPU Radeon HD 7790 your GPU is a HD 7770, and some stuff you don't have which is a CPU cooler and a Optical Drive.
So would you say this build is better then yours i mean judging from the stats i would say it is "far better", and $25 less, and pretty close to the guy's budget. It's not.

Lastly he said the computer was for and i quote "Games I plan on playing: Runescape,LoL,Etc" not TitanFall,BF4, Dark Souls II, Call of Duty: Ghosts, Watch Dogs, The Elder Scrolls Online. So he doesn't need a Radeon HD 7770 1GB GHz Edition

Why do people like you always go over budget and spend only 5 mins making a build for someone that might buy it or consider to choose some of the parts on their own build.

Why do people like you always go over budget and spend only 5 mins making a build for someone that might buy it or consider to choose some of the parts on their own build.

When I make people builds I try and pick the best parts for the money. And that's what I did with the build I created for him.

"Why didn't I include a CPU cooler?" Why would I? The stock cooler will perform fine. I doubt the VRM on the motherboard you or I suggested would be able to support even a slight overclock. The stock one will perform fine. Why would they give you a part that won't work well? (CPU cooler).

"Why didn't you include a disk drive?" Because they are pointless. It takes the same time to create a bootable USB drive than it does to write an .ISO to a disk. Disks are becoming less used now. I usually don't include them in my builds.

The 7770 is a GREAT value for money card, I even had one myself and it performed excellently.
Since you like cooling things to increase their lifespan, then the 7770 I suggested has a better cooler.

Also, that CPU you suggested is outdated. The new FX CPU's are far better for the money and they have more cores, and programs now usually take advantage of that these days.

PartPicker is good for comparing prices, but it's pointless buying off there as you'll have to add on postage, and parts could be out of stock. Like stedos' build all the parts of Newegg would better.
