I want to build my own PC for this price. It is meant for simple, non professional photo editing and casual gaming. Is it possible for me within this price range to build a PC that runs games like skyrim, far cry 3 and diablo 3 on medium settings? I hope you guys can suggest a few options. I found this laptop which has high enough specs for me: TOSHIBA Satellite L50-B-1WJ
I would like to know whether it is possible to build a PC with better specs within the specified price range.

Thanks in advance
