Solution
For something around $500 to $600, I would recommend using either a Quad Core Intel (maybe around an i5-4690 / i5-4570) or an 6/8 Core AMD (maybe around a FX-6300 / FX-8320). Here is a build that is about $500, but it uses a lot of the same parts that I would use in a $600 build. Have fun!
