$600 MAX Gaming PC

[Hufty]

I recently bought a new monitor for a PC. I looked at pre built PC's and decided that i needed more power but they got very expensive. I decided to look into the world of custom PC. My budget at max is $600. If i could get a solution fro a good gaming PC that would be great although i do have some requirements and those are:
1) Min of 8gb of RAM
2) 1tb of hard drive
3) a great graphics card
Thank You
