Well if you factor in the GPU and Operating system it's going to cost you more than what you have in that list. What you can do is go with an i3 to drop the cost and upgrade to an i5 (non-K is fine for gaming) later.

Without the video card and operating system this would cost you $543; but since you want to game I would recommend minimum i3 and a GTX 750Ti for medium/low settings at 1080p 30-40FPS. I would drop the case fans on this.

This might be more within your price range http://pcpartpicker.com/p/HZd3YJ
It comes out to about $510 without rebates but if you want to spend a bit more and get a 960 that would be advised.

Do you need monitor, keyboard and mouse? It may seem like a bit much, but if you need a monitor then you may want to add 100 to 150 dollars to the budget. Getting a computer with monitor for 550 dollars would be a SEVERE downgrade from what 700 would get you.

Assuming no monitor.

When the FX 6300 is overclocked this will perform better than the i3 in almost every scenario. Game performance will be better again because of the more powerful graphics card .
OCing is very easy using AMD's software .
If I had another $60 to spend I would want an SSD but that wont improve game performance . Just loading and booting times
