Advice on AMD Computer Please!?

[kingd3112]

Hey All,
I have experience with Intel computers but have decided I want to save money and build an AMD computer. I would like any advice you may have for a Gaming/3D modeling computer that can be budgeted around $600. Since I am going with AMD I would like to keep the ability to upgrade parts in the future.

Thanks for your time! any information will help!!
