Hello I'm getting around $500 - $600 for Christmas, and I'm new to pc gaming and would need help with a build. I would like it for cs go and modded Minecraft, etc.. Thanks

I don't have access to a PC until later tonight but I'll try to remember prices off the top of my head.
CPU-$170
Motherboard-$60
RAM-$60
Storage-$50
PSU-$55
Case-$35
=$430
That gives you $170 for a GPU, so something like an R9 280(x)
Intel Core i5-4440/4460 for CPU. Any decent mATX B85 chipset motherboard will do. 2x4GB RAM, brand doesn't make a huge difference, whatever is cheapest will likely be fine. Any 1TB HDD will suffice for storage, but it'd be wise to add an SSD in the future when you have some more dolla. For PSU, Im pretty sure XFX have a few decent 450W/550W units for $55 and/or less. For the case, I'd suggest a CM N200.
