I want to build my own PC for around $600. I plan on using it for some gaming like Skyrim, Starcraft II, minecraft, but the more intensive stuff I want to use are SolidWorks, SolidEdge, and AutoCad. Here's is my first attempt at a parts list. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/wc39nQ

for 30.00 more I swapped out the amd for a faster intel gaming cpu. the 260x is the replacment of the 7770 cards. with the 20.00 savings put in a slightly larger power supply if you replace the gpu latter on you wont have to swap out the power supply. the evo cooler replaces the cheap intel stock cooler.
