Totally different situation then.
If all you're buying is CPU, VGA card, RAM, MoBo, PSU(?), HDD, DVD drive, you'll be able to build a gaming PC on budget at $500 that will give you 1920x1080 @ 60 fps for just about every game released.
Your VGA card is the most important component and up to half of your budget should go towards that.
I don't monitor these things hawkishly anymore because I have no current interest in building any more gaming PCs, but check Tom's Hardware for the best information on these things.
