Hey there I have been working on this build, and I think that I have perfected it just right, for the $600 range. All it is just something to get my hands wet in the PC community, of course one day I might have something major, (Once I actually start a career, as I am still in High School) Just please tell me what you guys think of this build. I am not wanting to OC because I don't want to possibly mess anything up and have to replace everything again. But could you tell me what fps to expect on ultra/high settings. I just would like to know someone else's opinion but I am going to buy the processor and gpu Saturday if all goes as planned.

I'd probably go slightly differently, especially if you don't want to overclock (which is where AMD can become more cost effective). Something liek this will perform better in games due to the better graphics and only slightly worse CPU, and in the future you can drop a better CPU in (AM3+ dosn't offer much of an upgrade path).
