So I am probably going to be looking to buy and build this PC pretty soon.
I made a forum thread before about what the best $600 gaming PC build would be.
I just am wondering if this is the best I'll be able to get.

Some important notes are:
I have a 1TB hard drive from my old computer which is an hp p7-1234 Here's the specifications page " http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c03363664 "
I also wanted to use the ram, disc drive, and wireless card from the hp

It needs to run games like GTA 5, CS:GO, and upcoming games like Fallout 4 and Just Cause 3
On high settings, i'd like to get a steady 60 fps

My advice is to drop the SSD, put the extra cash towards a better GPU or PSU. 120GB is really only enough for the OS and program files, if you try to put games on you'll be struggling to find space on it real fast.

If I drop the ssd what should I upgrade for the best gaming performance? And what should I upgrade to?
