well I'd say i7 is out of the question considering that ram and a motherboard for an i7 would pretty much take your whole budget! I'd go for a q9550 or E8400 (dual core to save money!) and an ATi 4870, you wouldnt need any more than a 4870 considering your gaming at quite a low resolution.After that just get the best ram and motherboard you can afford with whatevers left over.

79.99 - E5200 + Freeshipping (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819116072)
119.99 - GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3R + Freeshipping (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813128359)
199.99 - Radeon HD 4870 + Freeshipping (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102810)
54.99 - G.Skill RAM (4GB) + Freeshipping (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231166)
89.99 - OCZ GameXStream 700W PSU + Freeshipping (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817341002)

Total comes to $544.95. I found you the best buys I think anyone could. Now if you wanted a faster CPU you can get a to fill up your $600 limit, you can get a E7400 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...5206&Tpk=E7400) for 129.99, which is 50 bucks more then the E5200 and comes with freeshipping too! If you go this way your total would be $594.95! Not only that you spend not a BUCK on shipping!

You're Welcome Sir!
