Building Gaming Computer for First Time

Hey everyone,

So i recently decided that i would like to build myself a mediocre gaming computer. I was thinking of spending $600-$700 (preferably around $650) on this. I do not need a monitor, mouse, keyboard, or speakers. This (for now) would be used to play games like World of Warcraft, Starcraft 2, and hopefully this spring Star Wars: The Old Republic. Would prefer for this build to be easily upgradable if possible. One suggestion from a friend was to use Intel Core i5-750 Lynnfield 2.66GHz LGA 1156 95W Quad-Core Processor and build around that. Any input and build suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
 
So here is a build i am looking at that only slightly goes over my budget. Just wondering if everything is compatible and the best i can get for around $700.
