Dark Wolf
I'm looking for a gaming PC (desktop) with a price range of $400-600. I don't have to play on max settings, but mid-high would be good. I'd like decent FPS just like anybody else, I hate lag.
Games I'd like to play:
Call of Duty 4
Oblivion
Fallout NV/3
Dragon Age Origins (2 even if not med, low would be fine)
Runes of Magic
WoW
Mass Effect 1+2
I'd also like a decent monitor. Try to keep the price under 700, the whole point here is to save as much money as possible. HD is preferable.
It doesn't have to be a preset build, link me and give me the specs if you need to and I can make it.
And this will be my first gaming computer, SO that's why I'm asking the community.
I can build it, I have my brother to help me out. I can be pretty flexible price-wise. I just want to save money because I'm only 16 and have been saving up with money from my first job for a while. I have approximately 1000$ right now.

You didn't list needing headphones/speakers, so I didn't include them. And I've no idea what your preferences are anyway.
Biggest issue with the other two systems IMO is the graphics card- It's the generally the biggest bottleneck for gaming performance, and both of them are featuring cards that are really going to struggle badly with modern games. The HD5670 would blow either the GT220 or HD4670 away with ease.
If you can afford it try to bump up the recommended HD5670 to a Radeon 5750/GeForce GTS 450.
Anything faster then that is probably going to require a bigger PSU as well and then you'd start blowing your budget. The Geforce GTX 460 is a fantastic price/performance card, but you'd need a quality 450-500W PSU to handle it.
Processor wise, Athlon II X4 or Core i3 would be worthwhile upgrades.
In any event, prioritize the graphics card first. Definitely try to cut back spending elsewhere to get the best card you can.
Look towards the processor second, and try not to drop below 4GB of RAM.
Bigger/better PSU or bigger HDD would be very cheap upgrades in the above system if you have a bit of extra budget room.

Gaming PC build for $600?
.net
I want to make a pc that I can make 3D renders faster and go into PC gaming like I want to play :Team Fortress 2, Crysis 3 on ultra, Bioshock Infinite on Ultra settings and Battlefield 3 and Borderlands 2 while recording the screen with fraps for game commentary and play Ps2 emulator....so I need a list of specs that I could buy the parts individually
Answer
your demands are unrealistic :/
For what you want, you should get something like
Amd FX8350 + 8GB ddr3-1866 memory with lowest timings you can get, amd 7950 or 7970 graphics card (or wait for the 8000 series which would be better since thats like in 2 months).
Also the new amd FX steamroller cpus are coming out in a few months aswell.
If you want to do 3d rendering, you want an amd graphics card due to its far higher double precision then nvidia cards. (unless you are getting workstation class cards)
For playing games like crysis 3 at 1920x1080 on ultra at 60 fps you are probably looking for a min of a 7950 in performance.
For screen recording and/or video streaming you pretty much want the fx8350. Or maybe the i7-4770k but thats far more expensive.
FX8350 = $180-200
8GB of ram = $70-90
amd fx990 motherboard = $130-150
case = $60-80
PSU = $60-80
HDD = $80-100
amd 7950 = $300
So you are looking at $800-1000 for what you want.
Idk why you think you can do that with $600...
And this is not even including windows, keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers/headset.
