Solution
600 dollars is a pretty tight budget for the kind of pc you want. Your not going to be able to get a constant 60 fps on ultra with this kind of machine, but you can probably get in-between 30-50 fps. Now, this build does not include a hard drive, OS, or other peripherals (assuming you have an old pc you can use these from).

Total with mail in rebates: $564.91

For the GPU, I don't have much experience with AMD cards. I do a lot of the 3D and video work, so I've always gone Nvidia. As for the PSU and mother board, I guess I didn't pay attention, sorry about that.
 
This would be with an OS and monitor:
