I see you already have both a B360 board and the CPU itself. They're pretty good still in 2023 and shouldn't limit anything you're trying to do. With a 600-700 budget, you should definitely spend most of it on a graphics card, as that is what is gonna drive most of your gaming and productivity. If you don't have them already, RAM and SSDs are pretty cheap nowadays, so don't overspend on those parts.
