Do this: It's 30$ over, but it manages to fit in a decent processor, 8GB of RAM (Overkill, but good if processor gets upgraded in the future), a 1TB 7200rpm hard drive and a 7770 Ghz edition card which will be good enough for source games.

I have said 300-350, it it is way over budget...

And make a one without an optical drive.

The APU will be able to run all source games easily, and when you have more money you could add a Dedicated GPU.

no gpu? omg i need to buy a console...

The GPU is in the CPU, and its a good one, it can still play the latest games, also couldn't you try and be at least a little more grateful. Saying you want a console is just a death sentence, trust me its a good build and easily upgradable so quit whining.
