I wanted to help on building my gaming computer and can't decide on full or mid tower. I also want to be able to run newer titles (such as titanfall) at at least medium. I use a 32" tv which is 1920 by 1080. I have average experience with building computers and would like help picking out parts for about $600. Thanks

I tell this to pretty much everyone with low budgets, full size ATX is most likely pointless. Even with Crossfire or SLI in the future, it doesn't make sense to do more than 2-way SLI or Crossfire with an i5, i7 or FX-83XX. Most people put a graphics card and maybe a wifi card in, and the point of buying a massive ATX tower is moot.

That said, if you want an ATX case go for it lol this will get you Medium/High in pretty much everything in 1080p:
