what CPU you have? or you wanting to upgrade that also, which is probably better, being a 6year machine...

]Go with an AMD build... good value for money. I've seen A10 or FX bundles (CPU + motherboard) for around $200. 8GB of RAM ought to be quite cheap. Same goes for a decent 600W PSU.

You will need to add more money for a videocard capable of playing games at full graphic options, though the listed games are not too demanding. Look for a Tahiti LE-version AMD 7870, provides almost the same performance of a 7950 for ~$220 on sale. Here's a sample loadout. There is a $20 MIR on the videocard and $10 on the PSU. Comes in around $500 but it will last for a while. You can go cheaper by going with a lesser videocard, say a GTX650Ti around $140.

You could also look into the some of the Intel deals on the site if you want to side with Intel.

I also agree with roastpuff about increasing your budget range so you have more breathing room with the components to improve on the gaming experience; not also that, but for current and the future.

What size monitor do you have?

Just to put it in perspective, my AMD Phenom II x4 3200+ with ATI HD5850 can play those games at max settings on 1920x1080.

^ This site helped me get some cheap parts.... and stay organized.

I also use: www.Shopbot.ca to find cheap parts or to compare parts for price match.

definitely possible under 400, but sacrificing that ability to play at max settings.

above mentioned MSI GTX650ti is at $130. instead of the $530 price tag, that pretty much brings you within your budget of $425. however, downgrading from a 7870 to a 650ti might be regretable considering price/performance.
