Right now I'm using my dad's old laptop and we're planning to get a new one "soon", so I'd like to know the best parts I can get for like $300-$600. I'll probably want to play games at 1080p medium/high quality, or maybe ultra on some. The games I'd be playing on it would be: Minecraft, Portal, Team Fortress 2, Simcity, Lego games, Terraria, Cube World, and various others. I'd also prefer Windows 8 for OS, and I'd like the least expensive case since I don't care about looks, but it needs good airflow.
My first gaming PC build $300-$600
