I have a budget of 600 but prefferabley even lower. I would like to get 8gb of ram. A good videocard preferably 2gb but 1 is fine. I would like a quad core i5 or mabye an fx 8 core proccesor. Also a terrabite drive. Also I would like lots of room for upgrading. Thankyou

Most decent monitors come in at around $130, and a $470 PC really wouldn't be the best. I'd much rather get a new monitor later and start off with a good system. Here you are:

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks

CPU: AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor ($119.99 @ Newegg)
Motherboard: MSI 970A-G43 ATX AM3+ Motherboard ($75.91 @ Newegg)
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($56.99 @ Newegg)
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($59.98 @ Outlet PC)

Couldn't fit an 8xxx processor in the budget, but the 6300 will work great with this 7870. For $600 this PC is a steal and run most games on high/ultra and 720p.
