Yes I know this is my third new topic today. so I now have a semi-reliable PC to build but I want to bring the cost down to about 600ish dollars. I want to use it for light 3d modeling and occasional gaming (fortnite and Kerbal Space Program). I don't mind running some programs on low to get a better price. the thing I want to downgrade the most is my graphics card because I like my case and fans. Everything in this build but the case ram and fans were selected by @Herman Mcpootis.

here are the parts I am looking at

you don't need a 5-pack of case fans, just get a couple to pair with the ones already included.

it would be a nasty move, but you could swap the SSD for an HDD and cut some cost. Make sure you do end up with at least one fan though. 

 

Also, check other websites for the prices, I just found your CPU $20 cheaper at Walmart, a store that PCPartpicker doesn't use

EDIT: I looked at the wrong price its the same on amazon, but it's still true. Go check out random bundle deals too, there might be good deal
