I was going to buy this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883229285 but ended up deciding to build my own PC for the same price of 600$.
Here's my 600$ build http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/partlist/ , Few things to note , I did not include the ram or Storage device since I already own a brand new caviar black HDD that I purchased a month ago but never used and the mobo comes with a free 8gig corsair ram deal if you purchase from newegg which saved me 50$. Also, I didn't need to purchase an OS either. all together that saved me 250$.
Also, I have no idea about computers, I was just building around the i5 2500k since a lot of people recommended it over the fx-4100, As for the motherboard it came with free ram, Otherwise purchasing the ram separately would have put me over my 600$ budget. Overall this build looks decent to me and it sure as hell beats the specs I have right now.
I'm happy with the build however one thing I noticed is that there's always that more experienced computer builder who can do better for the price, So my question is , Is my build solid or could it have been better for the price range of 600$?. Oh and the total on newegg was 598$. Forgot to mention this but I have an optical drive already as well.
Edit: My friend mentioned having two 4gig ram sticks would better than having one single 8gig ram stick.. Is this true or not?

. On the bright side I can probably upgrade the GPU within a few months , I think it'll be worth the wait since I read a lot of post saying amd is inferior to intel when it comes to gaming. If I hadn't purchased already I would have definitely used your build! Anyways, thanks for the build I'll be using it soon when I build my little brother a budget computer 
.
( at least for me). Overall I do like his/her budget build
