$550 Budget Gaming PC? HELP

[Symboliq]

Can someone put together a good list of parts for me? I know this might take a little but I'm looking for my budget to be Around $550 Or less, maybe $600 at the very most and if needed. At the moment I have a portable dinosaur. This thing runs DayZ like it's a rock. Even on all low, and with all these tips I've gathered I only get around 3-13 at the most FPS. So I am building a new PC. And this is where the MPGH community comes in. I really need help and I have no luck when it comes to good deals for performance. I've been researching this stuff for about 3 months and all my combos suck. I'm looking for specs like:

-Around 4GB of RAM or more
-At least 2.5 - 2.8+ GHz on the processor
-Around 1GB video card
-Not TOO power intensive
-Can play DayZ pretty well ( In Cherno/Elektro with atleast 20-25 FPS )
-Can play games like BF3 at atleast 40-45 FPS pretty good

I am looking for a decent gaming computer that fits together well and that I can upgrade in the future. Don't make this like it's permanent because I will upgrade things like RAM, Video Cards and Hard Drive Space/ HDD / SDD in the future. I am not very good at finding things like this. If you can, please look for deals on Amazon. If you think another site is better, please use that and tell me. I would really love help. BTW, I can deal with the monitor, mouse and keyboard. Thanks Y'all.

Do you need a case too? Or only the things you listed?

I need everything! Everything needed to build a computer minus the monitor, keyboard and mouse.

What kind of connection are you using for your monitors? VGA, DVI, D-DVI , or HDMI?

Plus, I wouldn't recommend putting your old hard drives in the new PC. It usually doesn't end up working out very well.



Here it is via Newegg,

You might be able to find the parts on Amazon for a couple bucks cheaper.

What's your build now?

I'll suggest a 6670 for now...

Do you plan to do anything else other than BF3 and dayZ?

If not, than a decent i3 will probably suffice (seeing as you say it will not be permanent)

Yes, I will upgrade in the future and I am planning big things with this computer. I will play GW2, PS2, and other good games. idk if I can play PS2 yet. But I can't build this till' I get my tax return / refund or even if I do. :/. This is essential as this is where I'll get the money.

Same. I'm just saying the game will prolly be optimized from an update by the time I build it.

Thanks! Any recommendations?

As I mentioned in the other thread, Corsair and Seasonic are probably the two best PSU brands you can get. If you get a decent 80+ PSU, you should be set. Just find the proper wattage and get one. Remember though, sacrificing a little bit of money for a cheap PSU has a good chance at costing your entire system if the crappy one fails.
