Help decide on my first PC!

What will you be doing with this PC? Be as specific as possible, and include specific games or programs you will be using.

A combination of Python/Java/C# programming and gaming. Games I want to play: Minecraft Gmod Cube World Sims Elder Scrolls Dark Souls Roller Coaster Tycoon Fallout CIV

What is your maximum budget before rebates/shipping/taxes?

Trying to keep it under $600. Lowest is best.

When do you plan on building/buying the PC? Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy.

I will be slowly buying the parts and plan to have it finished by the end of the year.

What, exactly, do you need included in the budget? (Tower/OS/monitor/keyboard/mouse/etc)

CPU, GPU, MOBO, RAM, HDD, PSU, Mouse, Keyboard, Monitor, Wireless Network,

Which country (and state/province) will you be purchasing the parts in? If you're in US, do you have access to a Microcenter location?

  • Replace this text with answer.

If reusing any parts (including monitor(s)/keyboard/mouse/etc), what parts will you be reusing? Brands and models are appreciated.

I already have a case: DEEPCOOL TESSERACT SW Mid Tower

Will you be overclocking? If yes, are you interested in overclocking right away, or down the line? CPU and/or GPU?

Not yet, I can always upgrade if I plan to.

Are there any specific features or items you want/need in the build? (ex: SSD, large amount of storage or a RAID setup, CUDA or OpenCL support, etc)

No, I will buy SSD later on.

Do you have any specific case preferences (Size like ITX/microATX/mid-tower/full-tower, styles, colors, window or not, LED lighting, etc), or a particular color theme preference for the components?

Already have a case.

Do you need a copy of Windows included in the budget? If you do need one included, do you have a preference?

I will be getting windows 10 from somewhere Reddit won't let me say so include that for 30ish into budget.

Extra info or particulars: I already researched and found my own parts on PC Part Picker but I wanted more input from people who have done this before.
