Hey Guys!
This is my first time building a PC and i really love the form factor of the BitFenix Prodigy.
I have around a $600 budget but feel free to go maybe 20-30 over if it's worth it.
I would really appreaciate the help! :D
Thanks!

crossfire 6670's pale in comparison to the 7850, imo, and the a-10 is slower and consumes more power than the i3.
My build is somewhat identical to your first build.

Went slightly over budget but I think its okay. If you want to go under 600, just go with any 1gb vram version of the 7850.
If you don't mind another $17 over budget you can get a sapphire 7870 ghz edition which is in my opinion a very good step up for only $17.
Mostly gaming and some web browsing
