I guess I should have mentioned this first but, I have a mouse, keyboard,case and a windows license already. So none of those would factor into the total cost. 

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. 

exactly 500 is a pretty decent budget for a gaming PC, only the box of course
