Hi, when you use the bitfenix and a mini-itx board that doesn't leave much left out of $500, especially if you want all brand new components. If your willing to mix and match between used and new parts, here's what i did on a similar build -

Bitfenix Prodigy Case (New)
Asrock H61M-ITX (New)
Crucial 'sport' 8GB DDR3 (New)
CIT 450Watts PSU
Liteon IHOS 104 Blu-ray (New) - note/this is read only even on regular dvd's.

Intel i3-2100 cpu (used)
1TB WD 'caviar green' (used)
Sapphire HD5670 (used)

320GB 2.5" boot drive (removed from my old laptop, so this was free

The whole build cost 319.48GBP which is around $480 and could play any game available on med/high settings on a 1050 res monitor. On skyrim i got 'ultra' settings.
You could ditch the blu-ray to leave more space on the budget, but would recommend the i3 / H61M-ITX for your needs.
