Need help building a 500$ Gaming PC including an OS (windows 7 or 8)

[Remedized]

Hello, I am new to building gaming PC's and I am asking for help. Right now I am on a budget and plan on upgrading in a year or two. But for now I am looking for a decent 500$ gaming PC build, including an operating system such as windows 7 or 8. I don't need a mouse, keyboard, or monitor. It is fine to go a little bit over my price range. I am looking to play games such as Battlefield 4 (medium-high settings for smooth gameplay is fine) and League of Legends (100-140 fps.) Thank you for taking the time to read, please help!

Look man. I've talked to a guy about this once already today. He wanted a gaming build for 450-500 with no os, and you want one with an os. It's damn near impossible for me to put together a build for that low. I don't mean to come off as a know it all or a nerdy douchebag, but look: I try to put together the best parts possible. I could skimp and save you 30 bucks on an athlon x4 with an fm2 motherboard. But I don't because of the differences. For 30 dollars more, your getting more upgrade potential with an FX 6300 and AM3+ motherboard. Other than that, everything else on this is mean't for upgrade purpose's as well.

That's only a dual core cpu. I know I'm going to get hate for it because of the potenial to upgrade, but where's the gpu? No 8 gigs of ram? Rosewill PSU?

It's a $400 pc what can you expect? The Rosewill PSU is one of their decent ones, can add 4GB ram later( most games use less than 2GB anyways) and the GPU is listed in the other section because it's not available on pcpartpicker. It's a HD 7850 for only $100 after rebate. New.

I know it's a 400 dollar pc. That's why I put together a nice budget build and advise them to save up to show what they can get..

Well he did say he's upgrading and it would be better to upgrade to an i5 rather an 8320

You do have a point, but honestly if he really wanted to, he could just take out the motherboard and cpu, and buy a nicer motherboard for an lga 1150 down the road, rather than buy a cheap one now and risk failure when he want's to use it to full potenial.

What do you mean by risk failure? It's an H87 chipset which is basically the same as a z87 minus the overclocking.

I don't even know why I said risk failure. What I was trying to say earlier is he could eventually upgrade the machine with a new 1150 Z87 motherboard and an i5 and only spend around 3-350 bucks on that in the future.
