Someone on these forums was asking about a $600 gaming build, including monitor. I started working on a build, and I refreshed the page to see if any new replies had been added, but it seems the thread had been deleted. So, since I'm bored, I just thought I'd post it here and get feedback on it. Bear in mind that it is theoretical, I'm not actually buying it.
