I really want to play titan fall and I don't want to buy an xbone to play a single game.
I decided to build my own computer with a budget of $600.
I plan on doing some gaming and java programming with it.
This is what I have so far, tell me what you guys think about.

I am open to suggestions on replacing certain parts of my build.

If you want a gaming rig, get yourself an intel processor. @NoobHunter420

Gigabyte is good.
4 gigs is OK to start, but titan fall at high settings will require more.
Switch your 1tb to a 600GB. This is so you can save some money and get a better power supply. I would try to at least go to 550, 430w is really borderline.

At this price range, it is worth to me to go spend 100 dollars more and get an AMD FX 8320 or 8350 eight core CPU and a newer Nvidia card, maybe a 660 GTX or 760. They will give you an extra push to run mostly every recent game at high settings and will last you a bit longer.

Try waiting for a deal on video cards, there are constantly new offers for them at the mid point price range that give you move bang for your buck

Things that you don't really need are the 1TB hard drive if you are gaming, only do it if you need to store movies and such. And like @Mikemetroid said 430w is cutting it too close a 500-600w PSU would be better.
