newegg.com is the best place to buy your peripherals...aka components. What brand of processor are you wanting to go with?

if you know nothing about PCs, I assume your not gona build it yourself. That means your buying it off a retail store or a PC shop. That means more fees. For $600, your not gona get much at all.

u can easily get a gaming pc for 600 bucks you just have to shop wisely, you dont want top of the line its to expensive for its performance, here Ill throw something out there

AMD X2 4000+............$70

Nvidia 8600gts...........$150

2gigs pc6400............$60

Gigabyte mobo...........$75

Case with power supply...$40-50

250gig sata hard drive....$68

dvd rom drive......$30

all that is about $500 and that setup will run most current games on high-highest. these are all the real prices on Newegg.com

Yeah his right $600 is a pretty good start for a gaming rig...might not look pretty you know you not going to buy the lights and a super case. But if you just want a pc that can play games you can make a pretty good rebuild with $600

I suggest spending a bit more than that on your case, and PSU. They are two parts that will last through a couple builds so it's fine to splurge on them, and cheap cases and PSU's tend to ruin perfectly good hardware.

A good case will still run this build under $600 though, but I highly doubt the OP really knows what he's getting into.
