You can save $50 on the graphics card by going with this.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125403
It's still a Radeon HD6670 for $39.99 after discounts and mail in rebate.

I would recommend pricing your parts on newegg.com. You could definitely save over $100.

thanks alot, i will definitely take the newegg into consideration but the reason i would like to keep the graphics card from amazon is because its quiet and double fan for nice cooling

 

[jasont78]

get a hyper 212 evo for about 30 bucks otherwise your gonna have a noisy computer

 

[hoboman365]

thanks so much, i was acually just looking a heatsinks

For $600 you can do a lot better. Does that budget include money for the OS or is it just for the tower?

If I'm not mistaken for a game like BF3 the Pentium G620 has similar performance to the Phenom X4. The thing is it uses a lot less power. Right now newegg.com has a great combo deal on a G620 and motherboard. $89.00 after rebates. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.915538

Check out this build. Its a low budget build but, you could just change the ram, hard drive, and buy that graphics card off amazon. It would be much less than $600.

For Gaming intel CPU are considered better. Here's a build under $600 with a much better GPU and a potent CPU for gaming. Have a look:

CPU & HDD: $247- i5-2400 & WD Cavier Blue 500GB

Motherboard & RAM: $94- Gigabyte H61 & Corsair 8GB (same as lyrcros)

PSU & Optical Drive: $53- CM GX450 & Asus

GPU: $170- Sapphire Radeon 6870

Case: $30- Apex TX381

Total(Excluding Rebates): 594 USD

Rebates: $20

Also regarding Heatsinks, unless you plan on overclocking the stock heatsink & Fan are more than adequate.

 

[hoboman365]

thanks alot, but again, i was just asking if these parts were compatible not for a whole other computer
and also this price includes peripherals like keyboard mouse, extra fans, heatsink, and i already have an operating system.

They are giving you advice on getting better performance for your money.... A $600 gaming build with a 6670 is not the wisest investment.

 

[hoboman365]

what low price graphics card would you recomend
