I would try going for a AMD Phenom II Quad Core at what I believe is 3.4 Ghz only 130 dollars for that

The Core i3 2100 is actually pretty good for gaming (bench here). Just remember that it is only a dual core, so if you play games that take advantage of quad (like RTS games, some others), it may not be as good as some others. You could always upgrade to a quad core sandy bridge later, if one isn't in your budget now. Or you could save up another $100 to get an i5.

For 30 dollars more... replace the 2.8 ghz phenom iix4 with the Phenom iix4 955 use coupon code EMCKCJH24

That would bring the total to 599.99

You could also decide to go am3+ mobo and scale the power supply back to 620 watts or so and still get right at or under 600 dolllars. Just some options...

Just giving you some suggestions.. Do some more research. I was simply trying to get you within yourbudget.

For example... You could go with the phenom iix4 2.8 ghz, drop down to the Antec 620 watt psu $69.99 and with the savings go with say the Asus am3+ mobo $94.99. That would allow you a major upgrade option in the future as AMD will release new cpu's sometime soon in the future.

You can play all kind of games like this to get exactly what you want.Its just exactly whatever you trying to go for.

What about the new A8-3850 APU?

It's on par with the i3 on benchmarks and the onboard GPU is as powerful as a 5570 no? I also hear you can xfire it with a discrete card.
