IMO, test and EQ is a great cycle. If you can afford to run a little more test, it'll only help you toward your goals, but if not, you can still make gains as long as you aren't so advanced that you're used to running 1g of test. 600 EQ is fine, as long as you can run it for an extended period, like 16 wks. The gains from EQ are slow to come on, but are steady and solid. You should be able to make decent gains with that, as long as you are able to eat enough food. Food is, of course, the most expensive part of the sport and EQ is great for helping you to eat more. So focus on getting creative to afford getting the cals in to grow. The only other addition I'd try to make to this cycle, is a short run of something fast acting at the start of the cycle. Dbol is probably one of the cheapest options. Even if you only ran one pack of Geneza dbol at 30mg ED, you'd be able to get a little longer than a month out of it for about an additonal $1 per day. Of course, you may add a little extra water with the dbol but the dose isnt crazy high and you wouldnt be running for a long time. The extra fluid will go away after the dbol is out of your system. 

Dont forget to use a low dose of an AI and have your PCT on hand. 

BTW, on the note of eating on a budget, this video with evan came to mind...
