Hey guys, I'm someone looking for a new rig that will play minecraft, battlefield, the sims, game dev tycoon, and many more games. I have about 600 dollars to spend. What can i get for my money?

thanks man, i like that rig, but what could i swap the graphics card with? I could do without the water cooling...
 


Is the operating system included in the $600 budget?

Comments, questions etc are welcome. Should be good for 1080p/medium or 720p/high (and often better) on almost any game

It is a little dangerous to have such a low wattage power supply. I would get a 500 watt to be safe. Plus you can upgrade other things later if you get the bigger power supply.
