To make a system within your budget including Windows 7 right?
Generally the case is something thats up to the individual. My Antec P182 is so quiet that I sometimes turn it off accidentally trying to turn it on. The Antec Sonata is a very good quality case and the PSU included is also pretty top notch as well and quite power efficient. Overall its good value.
For the CPU/Motherboard I use the rule of the thumb at the moment of Motherboard CPU = Video card costs. So I figure something like:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103882
= $175 for a quad core Athlon II 2.9Ghz Asrock motherboard with USB 3.0
goes well with this video card:

HD 5770 $149 with a $15 MIR card.
That should give anyone more than enough 3D performance for any modern game with a normal sized monitor.
Then you add 4GB RAM for $82

640 GB HDD with $20 off with promo code: EMCYWYP32
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136319
$55 incl promo
Sony optical drive:

$20
And it comes to: $612 shipping with $15 mail in rebate to use if you want.
Windows 7 is unfortunately another $99 if you can't get it free.
$712 is the full total on my first attempt. I can cut it down somewhat if you want without compromising things too badly.
Tease.
