Hi, im new to tom's Hardware, and i'm looking for better help on this website. So the run down of my story is that my xbox is no longer cutting it for me, and since the new Xbox One is coming out, id rather buy a computer for the money i can buy a new pc. So I own a copy of windows 7, a monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Here are the specs:

Intel i3-3220: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

ASRock H77 Pro4: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

Thermaltake 600W ATX12: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

Western Digital Blue 500GB 3.5 7200RPM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

Cooler Master HAF 912: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

HIS Radeon 7850 2GB (3 FREE Games) : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

LG Standard DVD Burner: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

This computer is used for Battlefield 3, Minecraft, GTA 4, and future games. I plan to record to, as well upgrade to an i5 or i7 later in the years. This is build is roughly $582. My first build is right here, i'd like to know which is better: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=An__0vusR0o0ivBMLtfZ3ybsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20130531104622AAuxzAt

That PSU is low-quality. Choose one built by Seasonic (their own, XFX, high-end Corsair, some PC Power & Cooling), FSP (their own, some Antec), Delta (some Antec), Enermax/LEPA (their own) or Super Flower (Rosewill Capstone, new Kingwin). Unless you specifically want the free games, the GTX650Ti Boost Edition is around the same price but performs a little better in most games.
