Question:

Is this an OK gaming build?

My budget limit is ~$600. I'm planning on getting an AMD FX 4100 4-Core Processor, @ 3.6 GHz, a standard AM3+ mobo (maybe 2 pci 16 slots for SLI?), an EVGA GTX 560 Ti Superclocked (that's how they title it in Amazon), a standard 7200rpm hard drive and a 600w power supply. Also, 8GB 1600mhz ddr3 memory. My question is, is this an OK build for games? This clocks up right now in Amazon at about $620. Is it worth getting the 560Ti? No I can't buy from TigerDirect or NewEgg, I'm limited to Amazon (Don't ask why). Or is there anything better for my $$$ that can do the same or @ about 95% of what this build can do? Thanks guys..

Answer:

Needs less Bulldozer and more Sandy Bridge. Get the vanilla GTX 560 ti. Also don't skimp on the PSU, Corsair, Enermax, Silverstone, and Antec are safe bets.
You don't need the superclocked version of the GTX560 TI just get the regular GTX560 Ti, that right there should shave off $10+
