What is a good layout to render this design in Java?

Question

I'm new to Java. I'm making a multiplayer Tic-Tac-Toe game as a test. For the main menu, I'd love a layout that looked like this: Ideal layout

The problem is, I have no idea how to make that. I have a JFrame with all the content ready (the buttons and such), but everything appears completely out of location. I've tried BoxLayout, GridLayout, FlowLayout, and a few others, with no results. I've had a headache over this all day, and any help would be appreciated.

So, if you have any recommended layouts, or any tips to get this working, that'd be great :)

I'd use a [nested layout](http://stackoverflow.com/a/5630271/418556). — Andrew Thompson, Jan 25 '13 at 02:51
[GridBagLayout](http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/layout/gridbag.html)? — Zach Latta, Jan 25 '13 at 02:51

I would use a nested layout that looked something like this:

GridBagLayout is useful for a more flexible layout, and BoxLayout for lining up a bunch of stuff.
