For $600 do not get a Squire. You can get a real Fender for that and the other stuff. Sticker prices are not actual prices.
If you want to play metal, play metal, don't listen to people who invalidate what you're into. If you're gonna play metal, certainly don't get a telecaster.
Ibanez is more metal, but I would tell you get a Strat. It's a versatile instrument. If and when you move away from metal, it will keep with you better than an Ibanez.
I would suggest you find a good local shop. Not online. Sticker price is never actual price. If you don't know how to haggle, just put some effort into talking to them for a while and keep asking what kind of deal they can give you on everything you need. You'll see the price of everything combined is much less than the sum of the sticker prices.
Rock on.
