500 dollar budget pc for Christmas

Hello, I'm planning on building a pc for the Christmas season that would run BF4, LoL, CS:GO, gmod, etc.

Everyone can feel free to throw in their own ideas. The build will need to have a OS included in the price and also will need to have a smallish case to fit in between a wall and table. Other than that throw your ideas at me and give links to builds on pcpartpicker if you can!

Best you're going to get for this budget. Buy a second 4GB RAM stick and maybe an aftermarket cooler if you can.
