Hey people I'm interested in building a gaming pc for under 600$ I already have a monitor,keyboard,and mouse.

I'm interested in playing Tea Fortress 2, minecraft, just cause2, gta, etc. basic games thru steam

As I mentioned I already have the monitor, keyboard, and mouse I want to build this pc tobe able to run my games with no lag or problem with graphics. My budget is 600$ I also want a decent looking case for my budget.

Thanks ahead of time for your help

Here's a very solid build for $600 including an SSD. I included a motherboard that is very capable of overclocking over one that doesn't overclock at all because the FX-6300 OCs like a champ, and you'll be almost pushing the performance of the 8-Core FX-8320. The sacrifice on the better motherboard is I couldn't fit a CPU cooler in the budget, so just wait until you feel you need the extra burst that OCing gives, and buy something like a Hyper 212 EVO for around $30. You'll be able to play a wide selection of current games High-Max maybe without Anti-Aliasing, with the more demanding ones like Crysis 3 on Medium~ at 1080p
