Building a solid gaming PC on a $600 budget

[MCV430]

Hello Everyone,


I posted a few days ago regarding building a gaming computer for around $800. I got alot of great feedback however I've had to trim my budget down further to $600. This will be my first build in about 10 years. I'm looking to build a computer that can run games like WoW, SC2, Diablo 3, Torchlight 2, and SWTOR on high/ultra settings if at all possible. I realize with my budget restrictions getting ultra on everything will most likely be impossible. As far as overclocking goes, I have never done it but wouldn't mind trying it out. I also have no favorite as far as AMD or Intel goes, which ever will give me the best bang for my buck. I currently run a laptop with an AMD Athlon II M300 running at 2.00 GHz, with 3GB of ram and an ATI Mobility Radeon 4100. Anything would be a fairly big upgrade at this point. Any and all feedback will be greatly appreciated.

If no os is needed, you should be able to run most games on ultra with this.

Thanks for the response! I will have to purchase the OS unfortunately.
