i do kind of agree with upping the PSU to 650, that gives the duder some breathing room if he upgrades his video card down the line.

The antec 550 has more than enough to handle a more power hungry video card, especially considering it's on it's own 12v rail.

CHALLENGE MODE: Can i build this under $600? Can i build it INTEL for under 600? Can i strategize this budget rig well enough that it'll run games like tf2, cs:s, and even payday: the heist? thanks guys

my main objective here is to have a desktop that is able to be upgraded and adjusted as times change. and while i wouldn't mind playing these guys on my shitty laptop, its age and other factors have made it run games like these with a bit of chop.

This would be substantially faster. Like, very much faster. Twice, if not more, on most games, and generally faster at everything else.
