I need a gaming pc build for $600. I saw gamespot build a $500 pc. It played games really well. I would like to be able to play games with at least these frame rates (it's the AMD one): http://www.gamespot.com/articles/can-we-build-a-gaming-pc-on-a-console-budget/1100-6418829/

Thanks in advance!!

I can make you a great build! First I need to know the following;
What size case and motherboard would you prefer? ATX, Micro ATX or Mini ATX?
Do you have a color preference for the components?
Where are you located?
Do you already have a keyboard, mouse and monitor?

they got an open box discount on the GPU, the build would really be around 580. I think you should follow that build. you could save some money using softwareswap on Reddit, to buy windows. I would then use all the left over money to buy a better mouse and keyboard. Do you have a monitor?

Someone will probably come up with a better build, but here is a starter. More powerful and overclockable... Make sure you do the rebates!

Just a tip. MSI 970 chipset boards are REALLY bad. :)
