For $20 more this will be leaps and bounds faster in literally every single game

GPU is orders of magnitude faster.
Motherboard has onboard bluetooth and wifi.
1TB SSD with a dram cache as opposed to DRAMless for $10 more
Equivalent PSU with 50w higher rating.

A monitor worth getting is gonna be at leasst $150. There is no point in buying a 1080p60Hz monitor new. They can be had all over craigslist, facebook, goodwill, etc. for $20 or less and they work the same and last forever. With a budget of about $800 you could get this system with a good high refresh rate monitor, as well as maybe an aftermarket cooler for your CPU and/or a 5600 instead of a 5500. But at the $600 budget, this would be ideal along with a basic computer monitor.

But come back in March, prices change daily so until you are ready to buy, this is all an exercise in futility because the optimal config will change depending on price changes.
