I have a PC here for about $570. I think it seems pretty solid, but I would like to know- Should I go with an A8-5600k or the Phenom II X4 965? (I would obviously change out the mobo) I really only game on Minecraft and probably COD or something when I get it. Might get GTA V when it comes out.

In case you are wondering, the modem is cheap because for ethernet I have to move it downstairs next to my computer, and the $25 is for the cable guys to install a phone jack because our phone runs off the modem.
