http://pcpartpicker.com/user/benhurt/saved/F8KMnQ. How well could this run games like skyrim, fallout, and borderlands 2. Also how well could this run newer games like far cry 4 and evolve and just newer games in general

That's a pretty nice mid-range build, I like it, It will max out Skyrim and Fallout and will get medium, sometimes high, on most newer games.

But you have to replace that power supply with something better, something like this:

The CX series from Corsair is nice and cheap but it's quality is shoddy at best.

The monitor is a 23" model when the 23.6" model is only a few dollars more on Amazon. The CX PSU is ok, but I would say the EVGA series, the 10 year warranty/Japanese capacitors, and modular is the way to go. Never cheap out on a PSU if only because it's connected to everything and if it has a catastrophic failure of some kind, very unlikely, but it does have potential to cause some damage to other components.

Forgot the monitor, for I think 3 bucks more you'd get .6" more screenspace, and in fact that would be the model of monitor I have presently. 😉

Oh and just a heads up, that monitor doesn't have speakers so unless you're good with using headphones all the time plan a few more dollars for speakers.

Alright I'll probably end up getting a different monitor
