Hey guys! First post here. Well I'm planning on building a gaming computer, but my budget is only at $650. This is my first computer build so I'm not exactly sure what I'm doing. The only games that I play a ton are World of Warcraft and Minecraft, neither of these games being very demanding. I would, however, like to livestream on twitch.tv, even if it means I would have to run the games on low-medium settings.

Here are the parts that I currently have picked out...
CPU : AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor
Motherboard : Asus M5A97 LE R2.0 ATX AM3+
Memory : Crucial Ballistix 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866
Storage : Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM
GPU : XFX Radeon R9 270 2GB
Case : Cooler Master HAF 912
Power Supply : Corsair Builder 500W

Once again, this is my first build, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
