With a monitor i can't see you getting any decent build for 600.

maybe save up for another month and up the budget, because that graphics card is pretty outdated too.

Hmmm and would a build as cheap as this still beat a PS4 upon release?

was looking into it myself, wondering at which to buy, i'd have a budget of around 800 though.
i've always been a console gamer, but computers are so pretty. :pac:

If you have a look at my thread here you will see you can build a very good gaming pc for €800. It's not including the peripherals there but there are ways of saving money on the build if you need to.

It would have similar specs to a ps4 and will run next gen games at 1080p. You have all the advantages of a pc as well. You can use any program, not just games There are lot's of great free games, the games are cheaper with amazing deals on the likes of steam and g2play, the back catalogue of games is in the thousands, there are hundreds of great pc exclusives, the mmo and rts genre's really only work well on pc, some would argue fps games as well. The hardware is upgradeable. You don't have to pay to play online. The list goes on and on.
