$600 Gaming Build

[Drew581]

I was looking for help for building a AMD gaming rig for around $600-625. Maybe someone has already built it and has a excellent setup? I am look for playing some games like Garry's Mod and CS:GO, and Some more intensive games like Battlefield 4 and Far Cry 4 while getting a decent frame rate.(40-60) higher if possibly. I was just looking for suggested parts. I am having trouble picking the GPU particularly. Thanks for helping me out

^^This build is good for $550 and all parts are from Newegg ( being practical ). I recommend a MAX OC of 4.2Ghz for the CPU or just 4.0Ghz to be safe. Let your software OC the GPU for you.

^^This is another good build for a slightly higher price. I have same recommendation except that the CPU should OC'ed to 4.5Ghz if possible.
