I am a console gamer looking to get into pc gaming. I want to build my own pc that would be able to run games like battlefield hardline at 1080p at ultra to high settings at at least 60 fps. I will be traveling with this pc occasionally and therefore want a sff. The monitor and other accessories are not included in the 600 dollar build. If any of you could provide a good pc build that would be great. Thanks.
Small form factor gaming pc build under 600 dollars

This system consists of everything you need for the sort of gaming system you want; all good budget parts. You don't have enough money left for a good GPU.

You need to design the system the same way I did. Trim everything to the minimum (without compromising the system) and then spend everything you have left and a bit more on the best GPU you can afford. For about $170, you could have a R9 280.
The SFF system also has WiFi/Bluetooth and if you use rebates (I do), you can save a bit more.

I went over your budget as i choose a R9 290 instead of the 280. the reason i went for the R9 290 over the 280 is it will allow you to play some of the higher demanding games, it will also mean that you are able to play future and inevitably more demanding games.
