building a PC good for gaming(budget of $600)

any suggested Processors, videocard and Mobo??

I dont know alot about building PCs , i just know how to enjoy and appreciate games. my friend says that if i chose the wrong parts it'll cause bottle necking, he says it's something about performance of the PC. so i've got to ask people who know alot about these kinds of stuff


for CPU would you suggest FX4100
and for GPU HD 7850?

For the cpu i would reccomend getting a phenom ii x4 965 which is cheaper than the fx 4100 and better since it is a true quad core. For the gpu the hd 7850 will be good. As for the mobo get an ASUS M4A79XTD EVO AM3 AMD 790X.

The Phenom II 965 and the FX-4130 don't use the same architecture. The 790 series is very outdated for AMD motherboards and won't support multiple PCI lanes.

FX-6300 is always better than any Bulldozer CPU is. It performs about equivalent to an Intel i3.

I'd suggest something like this:

I went a bit over budget but otherwise this would be a pretty solid gaming rig for $600 - $650.
