Can somebody please suggest me a Gaming PC build under 600$ with the following criteria.
-Should include the cost of everything including power-supply and fans(if necessary) except for the Price of casing.
-I only want to use Nvidea because from what I've heard about AMD it wont be good in my Country and conditios.( too much Heat not good enough Electricity)

Also please answer me the following questions.
Q.Should I go for core i3 and go for a better GPU or should I go for core i5 and buy a cheaper GPU ? which should be given more preference ?
Q.What should I look for in a Mobo ?
Q.Which one is better Kingston RAM or Corsair ?
Q. How much Watts of Power Supply is actually needed as I don't want to overspend.
Q.Are extra fans really necessary ?
Q.and what is the importance of the casing ?
Q.500 GB or 1TB HDD ?
and Finnaly
Which of the equipment can I think of buying second that will decrease the price and not be too risky ?
 
for your build look at cases like the r200 and ones built like it. you wont need to add extra fans right now as most cases have two for push/pull set up. spend extra money on after market cooler (evo 212 or one like it with a back plate the intel cooler with push pins dont work real well. for your rig with a nvidia 750ti a 550w/600w name brand power supply will be fine. with newer mb they have sata ports if you need more storage if you have to pick up the 500g drive if it a lot cheaper in your country and use the savings for the gpu. for gaming i3 and a good gpu will be fine now. with the mb make sure it a x97 chipset so he can latter drop in a newer intel cpu with a bios update. for now use a h97 and a locked cpu. myself i use cosair ram.

I live in Pakistan, 600$ means around Rs. 60k over here. If you are looking for checking out the prices these are some good online stores over here.

and Also the local market is a bit cheaper.

Thanks in advance

i3 4th gen
Asus H97/ B85 board
8gb ddr 3 ram
Seasonic 520 watt
WD 1 TB
EVGA/ASUS GTX 660

i3+ good gpu is mostly a better combination
H97/B85 as u dont wana oc
get the one with better warranty
GTX760 requires a good reliable 500watt psu

Never get a 2nd hand gpu & psu as their life is not long. U can get a 2nd hand cpu cz i have never seen a cpu died or any fault.

Thanks for the reply, please also add some links to the products because I have no idea what they are esp. The cases, motherboard and fans etc.
Moreover is pushing the budget to get GT 660 better than getting 750ti ?
