I'm looking to build a gaming pc, i want to be able to run BIG tittles such as Call of Duty, Battlefield, Minecraft, and mmo's like World of Warcraf on atleast high settings with a decent fps, i'm just wondering if it can be done with a 600$ budget(willing to go to 800$), what kind of build can i get with that budget. thanks in advance :)

It just so happens that 2 days ago: http://www.gamespot.com/articles/can-we-build-a-gaming-pc-on-a-console-budget/1100-6418829/
$550 budget. Totally doable with either AMD or Intel. I'd go R280 GPU tho, if you want your build to last more than a year or two.
