    Something like this is where i'd start, but 600$ isnt a lot to work with.

    The cooler is going to be massive, massive overkill (just ignore/remove the case listed).

    Can only fit an i3 into that budget when you need monitor/OS. Still, would play games great.

    Whoops, didn't notice the need for a monitor. Fascinate's build is about where i'd be with the need for a monitor.
