I am thinking about building a PC. I just want to be able to play some games in decent quality as well as use for general work. I want to stay around the 600$ range (not including peripherals and os) I made a build on the pcpicker site. I would like opinions on what is good and bad, needs upping or downing as far as performance/quality.

Any advice is appreciated.

That build is really bad. I'm making you one now.

Get the build Blue configured.

However, I wanted to add:

I have 4 video cards for sale.

1 x HIS R9-280X
HIS iPower IceQ X² Boost Clock

Newegg Link
Reference design.
$165 plus shipping

1 x HIS R9-270X
HIS IceQ X² Boost

Newegg Link
Reference design.
$100 plus shipping

2 x PowerColor R9-270X
PowerColor PCS+ AXR9

Newegg Link
$100 each plus shipping

FYI, the 270x is the same as the 7870 but with better memory with higher clocks.
