Thinking of building a semi cheap PC. (~$600)

[Beeeesly]

I currently have a Macbook Pro from summer 2010 that was bought for me for school. I love it to death, but it's not really good for gaming for obvious reasons. I currently have a PS4/Wii U (I will always prefer console gaming). So the games I would be looking to play are games that I missed out in the PS3/360 era, as I had a 360, but honestly didn't play too many games on it simply because I was also playing WoW at the time and I probably got it around the time Skyrim came out, so it just didn't get much use. And because I can get the games I missed out on for a great deal via steam, I would rather build a PC to have a nice upgrade from my MBP.

I am completely clueless when it comes to building computers and parts. I honestly don't want to spend too terribly much on it. I want the graphics to be good, but they don't have to be the best. The $600 sample build seemed like something I could do, but I wasn't sure if those parts are updated or not.

I am also a videographer/editor, so being able to run Adobe Premiere Pro well would be a plus.

I should have a mouse/keyboard. I might have the operating system, not sure.

But yeah, any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Firstly, coming from being an AMD person for years and years I would say, stay clear of them. They can't hack it in desktop processors these days.

I am guessing you don't have any parts to reuse? Or cheap used stuff available?

Anyways going from your 600$ I Will try and put together a good build.

Here is a 630 build I put together. I tryed to include everything you would need. I assume you have a mouse. Playing wow with a touch pad is horrible.

Yeah, I don't have anything to reuse or cheap stuff available to me. I have to start from scratch. Thank you!

A few things to note:
There is a Z97 board in there which means you can upgrade the i3 later one to an i5k/i7k easily.
There is also promo's in the setup that end in a few days.
