I am going to build my first PC and have picked out a set of parts that are in my budget 600~. I am just making sure that all the parts are going to work together and are quality items. I am open to build suggestions but I need them around my budget. Any and all information on my build or advice is much appreciated.

For your budget AMD is the way to go. This build uses quality parts and can easily run any game on max settings.
Also if this is your first gaming pc, you might want to learn how to overclock and possibly get a Hyper 212 Evo if you have an extra $30.
