Gaming PC HELP!

Ok! How are you doing I am new to this forum but I have been watching linus for a long time now. But that is not what I need help with. I just got a job at Walmart in the electronics Dept. and I have been working there for about two months now. I know my way around a computer and there is not much you could tell me that would trip me up so build or doing a crossfire or SLI configuration will be no problem. The games that I plan to play are Battlefield 4, Minecraft,KSP,GTA 5 with that game drop and other games like the one I listed(around 45-60 fps). I only want to spend a max $600 ish USD on the PC. I want to know if others have the same build that I am planning to build or just tell me I am on the right path or just give me some tips. Now for the real bread and butter.

First of all, Welcome to the Forum :D

 

Could you please use pcpartpicker for the build?

 

Yous should also follow this guide to post a build: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/3061-build-plan-thread-recommendations-please-read-before-posting/

(and it should go under "The workbench -> new builds")

 

Thanks.

 

I guess the general conses will be to build an intel-based PC with a Pentium  anniversary and a beefier GPU. 

Planning on trying StarCitizen (Highly recommended)? STAR-NR5P-CJFR is my referal link

You don't need 725 w for this. 500w is enough and I would rather go with a more known brand.
