 Re: ~$600 gaming rig, suggestions?
You could save $35-$40 by getting a OCZ 500w psu instead. Quality is still good and has enough power to run a quad and gtx260. Newegg.com - OCZ StealthXStream OCZ500SXS 500W ATX12V / EPS12V Active PFC Power Supply - Power Supplies
or Newegg.com - OCZ ModXStream Pro OCZ500MXSP 500W ATX12V V2.2 / EPS12V SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply compatible with core i7 - Power Supplies
Also use code VGASALE10 newegg to get 10% (up to $20) on any graphics card. That would make it easier to be close to your budget and get a gtx260 and quad core. After rebate you can a gtx260 core 216 for around $135 and that would be a lot better than a 4670.
