Looking for a $550 - $600 gaming pc. I need everything including: operating system, 8gb of ram, CPU ( prefer the AMD fx - 6300), GPU ( not playing high games so 2gb is fine ( looking at Radeon R7 250x and 260x), 500gb hard disk drive, case with 2 fans min, optical drive, and an atx motherboard ( I would prefer not to have a mini atx), and power supply and a wifi adapter. I want to play minecraft at 60 fps on medium settings while skyping and record while skyping and playing at medium settings with 40+ fps.
