This is my current wish list that I plan on buying somewhere down the road.
http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Kielly32/saved/Mb9RsY

But as it is now I can only afford 500-600 dollars worth of parts. Instead of waiting to get the whole money cause I'm terrible at spending what should I get/change in my list to make it in the 500-600 range?

In other words what parts would you buy if you were in my position.

EDIT:
I also need to add in a HDD.

Then my humble suggestion (best game performance on this budget). I also included an optical drive:

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/tpgJGX


the 585$ build will do great at 1080p, will max out most games at ultra 60Fps.
the 700$ will max out every game at 1080p 60fps and also do ultra at 1440p

any of these Builds will play 1080p 60Fps.

just remember to never buy stuff with rebates in mind, they are not 100% guarantee , you will just end up spending more money that way, GOod luck with your build.

The system uses 400w under load. With a 750w PSU, the full load is in the ideal range for efficiency (50-70% usage).

The major rebates are from XFX and Antec, two companies with fantastic tracks records with MIR's.
