the CPU is end of the line and the GPU definitely wont get you far. Look at some use parts then ask about what you find. an NVIDIA GTX 600 series and 700 series are pretty good for budget, or AMD 77xx

That power supply is the definition of a fire hazard.

 

Give me a budget and I'll see what I can conjure up.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

To keep it under the $500 you can drop the 960 down to the 2gb version, but with the 4gb its about $510.
