Hi guys,
This is my first pc build and your feedback is much appreciated,
I need to build a pc with a budget of about 600$.
Mainly I will use it for playing the latest titles in 1080p (propably not at the highest settings under this budget) and also 3d modelling & rendering with 3d max and similar software.
My suggested components are here http://pcpartpicker.com/p/HWDqgs
Are these the best for this budget, what do you think?

Don't try to OC with the stock CPU cooler and it should be fine. But that 260x isn't good at all. I notice no power supply...
