I have a $600 budget for a new PC. This would be for games like Minecraft and COD. I already have a monitor, mouse, and keyboard.

I would like to know what I can get for this price. I was envisioning a 7850 or 650 ti boost, but any other suggestions are welcome.

I HAVE TO HAVE THE OS IN THE BUILD!
So, in all honesty, this is really a $500 build.

My budget can expand to $615 if it is neccesary.

If you really want to save money and eventually get a much better video card, try going the AMD APU route. Buy a top end APU and you can play CoD and Minecraft just fine with it. Save up and get an even better graphics card. The new A10-6800k just came out a few days ago.. the total for this system with 8GB memory, Case, PSU, motherboard, Processor is $441

I took a more Apu-centric build idea- I know this is more money and a little bit less upgradeability (i.e. 2 RAM slots, no Croosfire/SLI space on Mobo)

BTW, I need to have the $25 modem category, so consider that with any other building suggestions.

Yes, I know Windows 8 is not good for desktops, but I personally like it. I like the aesthetics. So, no hate please.
