So I'm building a desktop. After two crappy laptops (only one was mine) that ran at 20 fps before eventually succumbing and jumping between 20 and 2, time to get a desktop that will last and maybe even hit 30 fps.
Problem is, I have no idea what actually would make a good purchase. I have tech-savvy friends who can help me decide and put it together, but I always figure I have tech-savvy friends(?) here as well. So I'll put up the current part I'm thinking about courtesy of Fireslash.

I've already heard complaints about some of these, so if you have suggestions or comments, they would be much appreciated. Any advice would really, because there's undoubtedly things I'm not thinking about I should be.
Currently running on a 600 dollar budget.
