Here are the parts I picked out. I'm not sure if there are better choices than the ones I chose. I don't want to spend more than $600.

What could I do to reduce the cost of the PC, but still maintain enough power to do what I wanted? Thank you for helping me!

Cheaper, with a bronze, semi-modular PSU, and removed the EVO, it is highly recommended to use an aftermarket CPU cooler though since this chip runs a bit warmer than others, but as long as you're not overclocking you should be fine, overclocking will give improved performance though...
