This is probably going to be my first build, but if you have seen my recent posts, I change my mind A LOT. I was wondering if everything in this build is good quality and I'm not overpaying. If you have suggestions, I can't go over $600. (I know I just did but 49¢ is the highest I'm going over. I'M SERIOUS.) And about the HDD, (I don't really want an SSD, except maybe a 16G one for windows 7) Oh, right, the HDD. Anyway, will this be enough storage? I don't junk up my computer with unused apps or anything. All I want to do is play some Minecraft and maybe some flash games, but that's about it. Will this build get around 60fps when I have shaders? And will my graphics card bottleneck the CPU? Sorry this is a long article, but thanks in advance.

Why the ram change? And why the cpu change. Not that it's a bad idea, but I'd like to know some of the reasons, to help me "compute." Sorry for the bad pun. I'm ashamed.
