Hey I am looking to buy a custom rig for mostly gaming and web browsing. Though I do not have much experience with configuring PC's myself and I wanted some help to make sure I don't screw it up. If someone can make me a build on PC Part Picker for gaming and web browsing under $600 that would be awesome. The games I am looking to play on this are stuff ranging from Terraria, to maybe something like GTA IV or Fallout. Thanks for your time!

Sorry I do not know much about pc components so I am probably wrong but I thought an i3 is supposed to be extremely slow and I would also prefer an Nvidia graphics card.

I3's just don't have as many cores for different tasks as an I5 or I7. They're still decently capable processors for the money. Also at this price point I'd probably say the Raedon GPU will out perform the Nvidia offerings. Where Nvidia jumps ahead is after the GTX970 (so 980 and up)

Alright thanks for the clarity man. In that case then I think I'll stick with that build but do you mind if you just answer one more question for me, What exactly do cores do for a processor? Do they enable more multitasking or something? I'm am not very smart with computers.
