Even playing on low-medium, your graphics card is probably going to eat at least a 3rd of that budget. 120GB+ SSDs (because the < 120GB SSDs aren't worth it) are going to be around $100, depending on the deal you can find. I wish you the best of luck though.
 
Here you go... All for around $600 without your RAM.

If you can go $50 more then your budget you could get a GTX 770 instead of the 270X.
