Budget Gaming PC, seeking compatibility and price advice

[stinkycheeseman]

I have some experience with building computers, but I have little to no experience with purchasing components and finding good deals with them. Any help would be appreciated for me to find components for a cheap, efficient gaming pc.

Here are the costs of components I have already looked at:

I am hoping to keep the costs below $600 with priorities: gaming, doing homework, surfing the internet, and watching videos online

I don't really need a new mouse, but if there are any cheap monitors and keyboards out there, please let me know

since I am new to the forum, plz tell me if I missed anything significant
