Hey guys !

I'm looking for a gaming build to play some steam games like Dota 2, GMOD, CS:GO, etc.

I would like to have a nice build which prices around $600 including the OS, monitor, keyboard, and mouse.

I would appreciate it if the build is able to handle those mentioned games at max settings with a constant 60 frames per second.

Thanks !
 
With OS , Monitor , Keyboard and Mouse . These things might cost you about 400$ alone , its just like wanting to buy a ferrari for 20$ . Its not possible mate sadly budget too small . If it was 600 $ for internal parts only that would have been fine but sadly its not.
 
this is perfect for you:

Its do-able. This build will play most-all games at decent settings. It could even run BF4 Mid settings (Turning on mantle would help) At a very playable FPS (at least 40+)

That build is very good for the price, just make shure to overclock that cpu to get maximum performance. Also you may regret getting the smaller 720p monitor later, so i would put out the extra $10 for the 1080p monitor. Happy gaming!

60 fps is impossible at your budget. You wouldnt notice any slow down if you get over 30 fps in any game. To play those games with a mix of medium to high setting i might be able to help you..

Processor : AMD FX-6300 ---------------------------------------------------------- $120
Motherboard : Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3 ------------------------------------------ $80
RAM : G.Skill RipjawsX (F3-10666CL9S-8GBXL) 8 GB (1 x 8 GB) DDR3 ----- $80
PSU : Corsair VS550 550 W ------------------------------------------------------- $90
Cabinet : Antec V1 ------------------------------------------------------------------- $45
Hard Drive : Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 1 TB ------------------------- $55
Graphic Card : Sapphire HD 7770 OC Edition 1 GB GDDR5 ------------------ $135
Keyboard : Logitech K120 USB 2.0 --------------------------------------------- $16
Mouse : Dell MS111 Optical Mouse ----------------------------------------------- $5
Monitor : Dell IN1930 18.5" 1366 x 768----------------------------------------- $100

I think it comes around 700 bucks. I got these prices from Amazon. If you get them cheaper, well and good.
