Building a value PC

Tkwon

Hi everyone, I am trying to build a PC with $500~600 US, that can perform Starcraft and minecraft at the same time as well as doing any sort of buisness work. I would really want a nice, compact case as well as a dedicated graphics card. I do not mind if it is a CPU or APU, but I really want a CPU (or APU) that is affordable but as well as giving a punch. I also want a full HD monitor. i really want to have a SSD, at least 68 GB, so that I can put my OS inside there. What should I do with this? What sort of  things should I buy?

Most compact case there is, will max out most not-so demanding games 1080p @ 100FPS minimum, such as Minecraft, and most triple A games will run on ultra no AA 20-30FPS, 60 on High, and great upgradability. Stock cooler is fine, do the mail in rebates and you could get a Cooler Master Seidon 120V to overclock, which the the X4 860K does great. Storage is a 120GB SSD. Let me know if the link works, as I haven't used PCPARTPICKER permalinks before.

Wait sorry... But it has only been 13 days. Necro generally means multiple months or years.
