Changes made.
CPU: i3-7100 -> i3-7300
RAM: 1x 8GB -> 2x 4GB
PSU: Corsair CX500 -> Seasonic G-550
Reasons why.
i3-7300 is little bit better than i3-7100.
comparison: http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i3-7100-vs-Intel-Core-i3-7300/3891vs3893
You can switch your CPU back to i3-7100 if you want to keep your build cost under $600.
Always use 2 sticks of RAM to run your RAM in dual channel. This way, RAM is much faster.
