I'd be happy to help you but to clear a few things up, i have a few questions;
Are you aware that the initial cost of your first 8320 build exceeds $600 before rebates, or are you implying that you are accepting a sub $600 budget with all of the rebates into account?
What resolution are you playing in?
And what other games do you plan to play?

I'm sorry for the late reply.
Regarding the price of the first build; I made some changes, I made the price go down to $580ish. My budget has been increased to $590 (not much of a difference)
I will be playing games such as Majora's Mask, BattleField 4, Call of Duty: World at War, Team Fortress 2, Half Life, and a bit of Star Wars: Battlefront 1&2.
My screen resolution is 1360 x 768. I will be using dual monitors, but my other screen is about 1280 x 800/700-ish.
I'll also be livestreaming these games.

This should be enough, tried to keep the cost as low as possible without sacrificing component quality.
The 6300 should steam quite decently at 720p one overclocked, and the r9 280 will be more than enough to go high settings at this resolution. Also switched the network adapter to pci since all pci-e x1 slots will be occupied with the video card installed, but you'll probably want to use a USB 3.0 adapter or a wired CAT 6 connection if you can, since connection quality degrades quite a bit once you go wireless, and that can be detrimental to your stream.

Thanks! I'll be using this build!
I am going to change three things though.
The graphics card, case, and Processor.
I really want to keep the 280x, just in case newer games need more power.
I changed the processor to a FX-8320, people are recommending the 8320 for streaming and rendering.
This would be $579
Also, people are saying that I should go with the Cooler Master hyper 212 evo, and the T4 would be worse than the stock CPU cooler, is this true? I think I will overclock sometime in the future.

The t4 and the 212 eve are just about on parwith each other with the evo maybe performing about 3-4 degrees cooler overall. (I'm ealing recommending the N200, High quality steel and decent cable management for the price, and comes with two good fans which should give a you good amount of airflow keeping your components cool.)
You might want to go with a 8320e instead of the 8320 which has a 95W overall lower TDP and should give a bit more headroom on your overclocking
You may also want to consider the 8350 with the stock cooler just to alleviate any worries of getting a bad chip or failed overclock, and this is normally the route I'd go for.
