I may get to build a computer.

[blueblur121]

My budget is around $600. I will be making a desktop PC for gaming. I will be using an HD TV as my monitor.
I have some questions for you:
1. Is that a good budget for building a gaming PC?
2. What parts should I use?
3. Where should I buy said parts?
4. Do you have any other advice?

BTW I'm using a HD TV so I can use steam's big picture mode.

Yes thats the one I've been posting, its still a good rig and people tend to want a PC like that for that cost.

Sorry OP :c

here are my suggestions:
CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113326
PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139028

the CPU may be a little more expensive but it's worth it imo
