$600 Build Ideas? Help?

Raginryuu

Hi! I am looking to build a computer that is $600 (not including shipping). This computer will be used to play simple games such as, TF2 , CS:GO, Rocket Leauge, and Garry's Mod. I will also want to stream and upload videos to youtube. So leave your thoughts on a computer Idea and I might consider it :D Thank you all!

This already looks great, but isn't it not suggested to have a skylake chip with DDR3?

As long as the motherboard supports ddr3 then the CPU will be fine\

Though intel does state "DDR3 will damage your processer according to this article"
