I'm trying to build a gaming pc for $600, including windows and a monitor. I did some research and came up with 3 builds, http://pcpartpicker.com/p/6RNwmG,

I know that the Pentium build is only 2 cores, but it also has 8 gigs of ram and has the best upgrade path, plus it should beat the other two in most games that only use 1-2 cores.
The Athlon build only has 4 gigs of ram, but it is a quad core, although it probably has the worst upgrade path.
The FX-6300 build is the most expensive, but it also has 6 cores which should future proof it, and if the Ram starts to run out I could always put another 4 gigs (same with the Athlon build). Since this is the most expensive i would only get it if the extra performance is worth it.
Games this will be playing are-
Hawken, planet side 2, tribes ascend and most other F2P games, plus Rust, Dayz, and maybe titan fall
I would like to be able to play these games at atleast 1080p at medium setting, but i good go lower if needed.
(I just edited the Athlon build and added another 4 gigs of ram, if that changes anything)
