Re: Thoughts on this $600 build
Seems like a solid budget build. I hadn't heard of the CPU before, but after a few minutes of research, it looks like an amazing budget CPU. Just don't plan on streaming/twitching games while playing. I assume you don't want to play at anything higher than 1080p.
Edit: Here's a cheaper alternative from PC Part Picker.

Re: Thoughts on this $600 build
I'd go for 2x4GB RAM, as for all I know this makes memory access much faster. Apart from that a 1050 Ti would be something I'd go for, too, giving the budget. Maybe a 250GB SSD, that shouldn't be much more than the 750GB harddrive. It's not much with Windows eating a couple of 10 GB, plus some games nowadays 50GB each on top, but if you have just a few games installed, and the others backup'ed for good measure, the speed boost was worth it for me (pulled that off with a 120GB and Windows 7 and was happy for years, now just more SSD.)
Gaming? Nope, I'm into Bitwig.
