I am looking to build a decent gaming rig to Play Saints row the 3rd, Left 4 Dead 2, and Call of Duity Ghost when it comes out. I have a budget of around %500 but I already have Monitors and a copy of Windows. Any Suggestions?
This is the best build for 500 dollars. It is very capable in gaming. And the CPU is very much overclockable, which means that few weeks later you can grab a good CPU cooler for like 30 bucks and overclock this CPU to get lot better performance out of it. So it is a definite buy.

There's only 4GB of RAM , but you can add more later on , I can game on high using 4GB of 1333MHz of RAM. I see no reason why you can't. The extra 30 bucks you spend now will result in a 15-30% boost in games later on and you won't regret it. Upgrade RAM when you have the money and need to do so.
EDIT - added a CPU cooler as well ( envy14tpe said ). If you arent in to OCing a Hyper TX3 is just good.If you want some mild OCing , get a Hyper 212 EVO though.
As long as i am not breaking any forum rules, you cannot stop me from posting pictures of the case.
If i am breaking some rule, then that is another thing..
We just said it because we don't like it. Also I have something to say bout your signature , The condition of Tech in India isn't bad at all. Just the case that no one out here is into PC building. I am 14 and I do it , I won't call myself a geek but sure a lot of guys around me do. Its the case of personal preference. Else I know alot of guys who are into Smartphones and tablets. By saying that the condition is bad , indirectly you are trying to show how smart you are right ? Thats just not the case. Also this isn't a rule breaking , just my honest opinion.
I gotta keep enforcing the fact he needs a cooler for that CPU. If he/she buys the 965 then he/she better overclock it!
I'd like to see this build bump up to $550.
I think
GTX 660Ti + Stock 965BE > GTX 660 + 965BR OCed to 4.3GHz
Plus the Phenoms reach so high on OC , you can have a microwave with a couple of those. Also the OP didn't mention about OCing. The GTX 660Ti is a stripped down GTX 670 which is a more stripped down GTX 770 / GTX 680. ( The GTX 770 is rebranded GTX 680 with higher clocks speed )
The FX-6300 will have you covered especially in BF4 , etc. The extra 2 cores will be much better and is some future proofing. Also the GTX 760 is a bit tad better than the GTX 660Ti. If you cant get this one , get envy14tpe's build , which also awesome for the money
