Im looking to make a gaming pc, with a budget of around $500-$600. I will only top the budget if its worth it.

Things to note -

1. I dont need os, i will handle that.

2. I wont be overclocking, (well i think i wont)

3. No peripherals, already have.

4. I dont need an amazing pc, just something i can play games on.

There are lots of good and cheap CPU coolers, like the Hyper 212,. it will make a quiet and overclockable system. SSDs are a must these days, the speed boost is totally worth it

LoL an Mincraft will fly on any of the aforementioned builds. The difference between 1x8gb and 2x4gb isnt noticeable in practice

I built my PC 10 months ago, I have ordered a CPU cooler but its not coming until tomorrow, but for the last 10 months I have been running without one, I also do not have an SSD yet I play every game on max settings. You know why? Because you don't NEED them and on a budget build money should be spent elsewhere.

I was meant to select the 270, I must have scrolled up to far.

SSD's of that size are meant for OS's and have absolutely ZERO effect on gaming performance. No shit your computer has been running, stock coolers design to keep it cool so it does. Aftermarket coolers just do it quieter and more effectively. And besides, if it can fit in the budget, then why the hell not?

You can easily fit 8gb of RAM into a $500 build. 

A cheaper motherboard can be used and a lower wattage PSU can also be used.
