Buying a new pc ( for gaming) need recomendations
Mag-X:
Check out PCPerspective's Hardware Leaderboard Budget System. It comes out to $522. http://pcper.com/hwlb.php?guide4=y#guide4
Despite what many people seem to think, you don't need to spend $1,000 on a gaming PC. Those parts will easily play any modern game.

Well, it is a recommendation. :D but yeah, should probably have been posted in the Tech forum.

For a marginally cheaper build without sacrificing gaming performance for the games you (OP) mentioned, consider replacing the Athlon II X4 620 with an Athlon II X2 240 or Athlon II X3 435. Fewer cores, but lower cost as well. To see how they stack up in gaming performance, just google for benchmarks (here's the X3 435 stacked up against the X4 620. For your purposes you probably only want to look at the gaming benchmarks).
I don't know what that would translate to in Euros for your region, but low–midrange gaming systems don't get much cheaper than that.

Invest in the Intel Iseries (i7, i5, etc)

I bought an i7 920 and i overclocked it from its default of 2.67Ghtz to and amazing 3.8ghtz on its stock air cooler and its amazingly stable
