I cant get the basket script working atm but you'd be looking at something like this:

Intel Core i3-2120 Box, LGA1155 €109.07
WD Caviar Blue 500GB SATA 3 6Gb/s €58.79
BitFenix Merc Beta €31.97
Super-Flower Amazon 80Plus 450W €42.15
Samsung SH-222BB schwarz €16.50
ASRock B75 Pro3, Sockel 1155, ATX €69.02
SAPPHIRE HD 7750 1GB €96.46
4GB Corsair Valueselect DDR3-1333 CL9 €16.33
Shipping €18.99
Total €459.28

That setup wont be the fastest but it should at least run those games you listed

Just noticed that you also need windows. As you're a student you should be able to get a copy cheap or even free. See here

Yeah my script is up to date, must be something disabled on this work pc.
If you want a different mobo you could go with this. Its only slightly more expensive
