I am relatively new to Computer Gaming, and I have finally come up with some money to build my own machine. I want the machine to be somewhere around the $600 dollar price range. I am hoping to play WoW, UT2004 and possibly Guild Wars with it. I have been doing alot of research and asking alot of questions and I have come up with this:

I am posting here to make sure I am picking the right componets and if anyone has any other suggestions for what I am purchasing, or if there are better/more affordable products out that that I can afford (I am trying to stay in a 600 dollar price range)

Thank You.
