So ive been doing allot of research on building your own computer. I'm pretty strapped for cash and am looking to spend around 400 dollers possibly an extra hundred if i live off top ramen and free food from work for a couple weeks. I want a computer that will run sc ii diablo iii and the old republic when they are released at a playable level.(doesnt have to be beautiful). Allot of things ive read have told me that this is not possible. In the process of doing research i also came across this build

cpu :AMD Athlon X2 7850 Black Edition 2.8 dual core
Motherboard:Foxconn A7GM-S 2.0
Memory:Crucial 2x1GB DDR2-800
Graphics:Radeon HD 4770
Hard drive: Seagate 7200.11 160GB
Optical Drive: Sony Optiarc AD-7200S
Case +Power Supply: Cool Master 534+ Cool Master 460
first is there anything better than this build that you would suggest for this budget(400-500)? If not is there anything drastically wrong with useing a micro motherboard for gaming? can i use any ddr ram chipset in here as the one they have posted has risen from 30 to 90 dollars. if i had an extra hundred dollars to put into the graphics card what would i get that would fit this build? any answers would be helpful thank you so much for your time
