$600 is a fine pricepoint, though it's a little challenging if you need both an OS and want to get a SSD (and you do want to get an SSD).

Eh, you can live without an SSD at that price point. Probably better to get the best possible graphics card, and then save up to get the SSD later. But it would always be my first upgrade (and you have to buy an HDD anyway).
Do you have a SATA DVD or Blu Ray drive, Voldy?

I asked about the issue on a local romanian forum and one guy gave this option:
Procesor AMD FX X6 Six Core 6300, AM3+, 8MB L3 (BOX)
449,00 (prices are in the romanian coin "Leu" and the current exchange rate is 1$=3.23Leu's, making this processor 138.7$)
Motherboard GIGABYTE 970A-DS3P, AMD 970/SB950
267,21 (82.5)
HDD Desktop Western Digital Caviar Blue, 1TB, SATA III 600, 64MB Buffer
232,00 (71.6)
Cablu conexiune Gembird S-ATA 48cm
9,90 (3)
RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury Blue Series DDR3, 2x4GB, 1600 MHz
349,00 (107.8)
Sursa Zalman ZM600-LX, 600W
208,35 (64.3)
Video card Sapphire R9 270 Dual-X OC & Boost, 2GB, GDDR5, 256bit
699,00 (215.9)
or
Vidoe card ASUS GeForce GTX 750 OC, 1GB, GDDR5, 128bit
482,76 (149)
Case Segotep SG-GT Red NF
109.01 (33.7)
it comes to a total of 710.4 $ or 645 $ (depending on the video card) ...a litle more expensive than i wanted either way but i think i can manage.What do you guys think?

Those prices are quite high compared to American ones. I can get the HDD for under $60, an R9 270X (not a 270) for under $200, and a 750 Ti (not a 750) for under $140.

We can't give you advice on what parts are good for their cost if the costs vary for different parts.
