OMG dude, are you new here? Everytime a topic like this comes up, all we have are Hermits spouting off about how much cheaper PC gaming is and how they could build a PC for $600 that can max any game on the market? Like I said, I am call total BS on that notion. Any decent gaming PC will run you a minimum of $800-$1000. A good 1080p 21-24" monitor will run you another $250+. Then you all also talk about having to have a gaming mouse with atleast 5600 dpi and whatnot. Like I said, stop acting like building a gaming PC is so inexpensive because it simply is not!!!

A good $600 USD gaming PC box can be built from 100 percent AMD processing stack i.e. a PC centered around Radeon HD 7850 GPU.
CPU:AMD FX-4170 4.2GHz Quad-Core Processor ($137.99 @ eCost)
Motherboard:MSI 760GM-P21 (FX) Micro ATX AM3+ Motherboard ($46.86 @ NCIX US)
Memory:Patriot Signature 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($41.99 @ Newegg)
Hard Drive:Samsung Spinpoint F3 500GB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($59.99 @ Newegg)
Video Card:XFX Radeon HD 7850 2GB Video Card ($219.99 @ Newegg)
Case:Thermaltake VL80001W2Z ATX Mid Tower Case ($27.99 @ Microcenter)
Power Supply:OCZ 600W ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply ($39.98 @ NCIX US)
Optical Drive:LG GH24NS90 DVD/CD Writer ($16.99 @ Newegg)
Total: $591.78 (Prices include shipping and discounts when available.)
The above AMD based PC is similar to the leaked AMD Liverpool APU powered Sony PS4 console.
I can make CPU/RAM cheaper and increase the GPU towards AMD Radeon HD 7870 or add a Blu-ray drive.
