Gaming PC build under $600?

Can someone put together a decent gaming build for me? I need it to include a monitor, keyboard, and mouse—something that can handle Battlefield 3 on high settings.

Shipping is an option.

Please count on that being the case. $1333 Not that I’m able to make it up north, anyway.

Thanks in advance for the help and for putting in the time. 😁

No optical drive included... you're getting a significantly stronger graphics card here than the GeForce GTX 750 Ti, plus a slightly better quality power supply. You'll have a bit less room for CPU upgrades, though—you could probably bump up to the final Athlon series when they drop in late 2015, which should be better, but they'll still just be quad-core. On the other hand, you could upgrade to 6 or 8-core processors on the AM3+ platform found in Amy Vaughn12's build.

I'd also suggest overclocking to at least ~3.7GHz by simply bumping the FSB in the BIOS without increasing the voltage (keep it at 1.3V). It might help you get more out of that graphics card.

Shipping is doable.

Just count on it. $1333 Not even close, and I don't have the cash to head up north anyway.

Thanks for putting in the work and taking the time to help out. 😁

If you need a decent GPU, just grab one off Craigslist. It's easy. 😁

I'll handle that for him $10 if that's actually the issue 😁

He picked up the laptop. Lock it down 😬

I decided to go with a laptop for the portability. Once I’m ready to pick up a desktop, I'll be back in touch—you guys are the experts. 🙂

Thanks for everyone's help.
