1. What YOUR PC will be used for. That means what types of tasks you'll be performing.

General everyday use and hopefully gaming

2. What YOUR budget is. A price range is acceptable as long as it's not more than a 20% spread

600 US Dollars

3. What country YOU will be buying YOUR parts from.

USA there is a microcenter near me

4. IF you're buying parts OUTSIDE the US, please post a link to the vendor you'll be buying from.
We can't be expected to scour the internet on your behalf, chasing down deals in your specific country... Again, help us, help YOU.

nope

5. IF YOU have a brand preference. That means, are you an Intel-Fanboy, AMD-Fanboy, ATI-Fanboy, nVidia-Fanboy, Seagate-Fanboy, WD-Fanboy, etc.

nope

6. If YOU intend on using any of YOUR current parts, and if so, what those parts are.

nope

7. IF YOU plan on overclocking or run the system at default speeds.

Not overclocking

8. What resolution, not monitor size, will you be using?

1080p monitor

9. WHEN do you plan to build it?
Hopefully today

Welcome to the forums, Nerfmeplease!

So, with a budget of $600, you're looking at a relatively entry-level system. But you can definitely still do some gaming on it.

First things first - you don't have an OS listed. Do you have a copy of one that you can use? If not, add about $90 to the total price.

Second - you can find a 970 motherboard for a lot less...and you should, because you're allocating too much money to it. The MSI 970-G46 is what I'd recommend, for about $80.

Third - bump up that 650 Ti Boost to a 660, which can be had at Newegg for $175AR.

Finally - as nice as the Corsair 200R is, it doesn't fit with a $600 budget. I'd suggest the NZXT Source 210, which you can get at Amazon for $40.

With these changes, you can both have a faster gaming system, and fit in below $600. Also, just a helpful tip - very few of the prices you found are actually the best available - PCPartPicker really doesn't keep up with the latest offerings.

And I don't think much of NCIX...

That's an open-box Z77A-G41 that isn't available at most stores. In other words, you can't actually get a 3570K system for under $600...
