So I am probably going to be looking to buy and build this PC pretty soon.
I made a forum thread before about what the best $600 gaming PC build would be.
I just am wondering if this is the best I'll be able to get.

Some important notes are:
I have a 1TB hard drive from my old computer which is an hp p7-1234 Here's the specifications page " http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c03363664 "
I also wanted to use the ram, disc drive, and wireless card from the hp

It needs to run games like GTA 5, CS:GO, and upcoming games like Fallout 4 and Just Cause 3
On high settings, i'd like to get a steady 60 fps

If I drop the ssd what should I upgrade for the best gaming performance? And what should I upgrade to?
