I have a buget of 600 for this build, how does this look if i want uprgrade later on? Possible bottlenecks in the future?

Looks pretty good to me. Later down the line you could upgrade to an i5 or i7 and the graphics card. Only things I would change would be to try and go for a better quality power supply or perhaps one with more wattage for good headroom. Also try and see if you could get a small ssd for the os. Will make a world of a difference trust me.

Thanks for the response jimmyjammywho, i changed out the hdd for a 240gb ssd. It was 20 dollars more, hope that's enough space for now. i can always add the 1tb hdd back later just for storage

No worries mate. That should be plenty of space for the operating system and basic apps and you should be able to get a few decent games on there. And like you said you can put in another hard drive later down the line. Enjoy building and using your new PC 😀
