Hi all! I've spent the last week or so poking around these forums and gaining advice and suggestions for a budget gaming computer with an emphasis on MMOs. I've finalized my build and will begin ordering parts later in the day.
I wanted to thank everyone who helped me and gave me advice during this process. I had no knowledge of building a PC prior to joining these forums and am now confident in the choices I have made. Please feel free to comment on this finalized build and I will offer my reasoning behind the choices I've made.
I originally did not plan to include a SSD with this build due to budget concerns, but I am now of the opinion that it would be better to go ahead and get one now as opposed to doing it later and needing to re-install the OS at a later date. If anyone can suggest a well-built SSD at a good price (120 GB should be fine), I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thanks again!

Best solution
Here's a more GPU oriented build which will be better at playing games, as games tend to rely on the GPU lots more than the CPU.
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant
CPU: AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor ($109.99 @ NCIX US)
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler ($29.98 @ OutletPC)
Motherboard: Asus M5A97 LE R2.0 ATX AM3+ Motherboard ($69.99 @ Newegg)
Memory: Team Vulcan 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Storage: Crucial MX100 256GB 2.5" Solid State Drive ($104.99 @ NCIX US)
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($54.98 @ OutletPC)
Video Card: Sapphire Radeon R9 270 2GB Dual-X Video Card ($155.38 @ Newegg)
Case: Corsair SPEC-02 ATX Mid Tower Case ($49.99 @ Micro Center)
Power Supply: XFX 550W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply ($59.99 @ Newegg)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8.1 (OEM) (64-bit) ($89.98 @ OutletPC)
Total: $725.27

The R9 270 is a much better GPU than the GTX 750 TI, however the FX 6300 is worse than the i5. The 6300 is still a very good CPU, it has 6 cores @3.5ghz, and in this build can be easily overclocked to 4ghz, or higher if you go with the non LE motherboard.
The CM hyper 212 allows for a nice overclock, and is one of the most popular CPU coolers, and the best available for this price range.
The m5a97 LE is a good mobo, I use this myself, very nice for this price.
Some good budget Corsair memory, nothing more to it.
One of the new Crucial MX100 SSD drives, 250GB of storage, very fast.
A WD 1tb Caviar Blue @7200rpm, very solid reliable hard drives.
One of the new Corsair Spec-02 cases, these come with 2 fans and have space for up to 6 120mm fans. These cases have great airflow, a side window, and look very good.
The PSU is a high quality XFX Pro 550w, as said above, don't skimp on the PSU, this PSU is much higher quality than the EVGA one you picked.
Windows 8 is, well, Windows 8.
This build costs a lot more than yours, but this is because of:
A: You didn't include a case, not sure if this was a mistake or if you already have one. If you already have one, use that, but first make sure all the parts will fit.
B: Higher quality mobo
C: Higher quality PSU
D: More expensive GPU
E: Mine includes the SSD in the price, you can change it to a 120gb if you want to save some cash.

Is the ram factoring in the total cost? Because it doesn't have a price by it.

I've chosen the CPU/GPU combo based on the fact that I do not particularly desire playing games with high graphics. I'd rather have a system that can smoothly run a variety of games with a strong emphasis on MMOs (hence the i5).
Are you suggesting PSU upgrades based on the actual quality of the PSU I've selected? I was of the opinion that EVGA is in the top tier (or just below it) for PSUs.
Also, is the Team Vulcan RAM quality hardware?
I will look into the Samsung and Crucial SSDs, thanks!
Thank you for the input!

Even in more CPU based games the GPU is still the major decider of framerate. The 6300 can be overclocked and will perform fine in any of the CPU based MMOs, you will be able to max them no problem, and the R9 270 is MUCH stronger than the 750 ti.
Get a better quality PSU, such as the 550w XFX PSU, the best 550w PSU at that price. The EVGA one you picked is pretty low quality. Not terrible, but there are much better choices. EVGA make some good PSUs, that just isn't one of them. Same thing Corsair and the CX series.
The Vulcan RAM is good quality.
Samsung vs Crucial Mx100 is your choice, there's little real world difference.

Updated list with SSD + other suggestions.
If I were to swap the 750 Ti for the R9 270, would I also need to invest in an aftermarket cooler? The case I'm using has a 120 mm fan at the bottom front and a large fan on the side panel opposite the MOBO.
Thanks!

No, you don't.
Here's a tweaked version of your build with a better SSD and GPU for a similar price. Why do you keep not including cases though? Do you already have a case?
Edit: See build below.

Hi Moo, sorry for not responding the first time you asked -- I plan on reusing the case I've currently got.
Thank you for your continued input, but I don't see the tweaked build you're referring to
edit: I've added the R9 270 Dual-X to the most recent build above and it's and additional $25 which I feel is an acceptable increase.

You can switch the SSD for a MX100 128GB to save some cash, but the extra $30 really is worth it for double the size.

The 20mhz will make no difference, however MSI cards tend to have very good coolers, but Sapphire have good all round quality and customer service, since the price difference is quite small I would go with whichever is cheaper, and currently the MSI card is cheaper. Either one will be fine, Sapphire and MSI both make great cards.

Hi everyone!
I've just finished ordering the build listed above. It's a bit more than the under $600 build I started with, but I'm excited nonetheless and I'll just consider it a late graduation gift to myself.
Moo, I chose your answer as the solution because you kindly offered advice and explained your reasoning. Thanks!
