I normally never do this, because I know I will be crucified by internet public opinion.

This is a cheap as possible build, that I don't really recommend (especially the Rosewill case with an unknown 300W PSU).
It's a start to show you the bare minimum specification.

Alittle more expensive build but still have some money to play with under your 600 maximum. You could probably step up to a GTX 1060 3gb Mini card and still be under budget if there is a sale.

I guess with a $600 budget you could get a 3GB 1060, but then you risk the possibility of maxing or going over your budget.
