I have around $600 dollars and am looking to build a gaming pc myself. I haven't kept up with computer hardware in the last 5-7 years and would like to get the most bang for my buck, while still keeping room for improvement later. I will be using this for Gaming first and foremost. I would like to get a monitor but if that is not possible in this price range I can purchase one later. Thanks so much for helping !
Help me, Please! Best Gaming PC for under $600 /w monitor

This is what I would build. This build gives you more room for improvement MAs the PSU ha significantly more watts. As an added bonus, its modular so you don't have cables all jumbled up inside your system.
To buy a new monitor, your going to really restrict what you can do with this build. I would suggest buying a refurb off of eBay http://www.ebay.ca/sch/Monitors-Projectors-Accs-/162497/m.html?_ssn=dell-official-store-ca-refurbished&_sop=15 its a Canada based link, but if you can find another Dell overstock store or something like it, then order from there.
