budget of around $500-600

I'm not quite sure what I want to use this comp for. Just random personal use and work, I guess. A decent graphics card wouldn't hurt though.

Well for that price I guess it'll be a budget system. Would you want overclock ur system or no?.. And are u planning on upgrading it later, or will this be the final configuration.
