AMD CPUs are going to require a discrete card unless it's one of their APUs, and the CPU part of the APUs is generally unsuitable for this purpose.
I have not seen any Ryzen or FX boards that have integrated video cards so I am unable to help in this case.
You would have to wait until you get Ryzen APU's or go with one of the current ones - And those are not particularly fast although quite cheap and inside your budget. The current ones are on a stone dead platform though, no where to go for upgrades down the line.
"Looking for a Budget AMD Rig within $600 - $700 for multi-tasking and running VM ware virtual machines. Looking for something which does not require a liquid cooler or external graphics card."
Ty for the replies but none of them help. I am looking for suggestions regarding what I have written above.
1) Should be within budget
2) AMD only
3) Something which does not require a liquid CPU cooler.
4) Main purpose is multi-tasking + running VM ware (1machine at a time will do)
Please suggest a complete rig minus HDD and monitor as I can use those from my old rig.

If I base my limited knowledge on WM Ware on the WM Ware web sire and look up their requirements page; https://www.vmware.com/support/ws5/doc/intro_hostreq_ws.html especially the listing of non compatible hardware list https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=967
I chose then 1600 instead of 1600x because you need more the ram for multiple vm wares workstations than the little difference in power of the cpu to run it.
I would say;

The 1600 comes with a decent stock cooler so the added one doesn't really add soemthing usefull.Might want to spend that at a better gpu or case.
The psu could be cheaper too,

still very good quality,means abit more money for that case/gpu upgrade.
I'm not into VM so am not sure he needs 32gb's of ram.Probably depends on how many he runs.
