I purchased the above Sapphire Flex Radeon 7950 along with a modular 600W power supply.

I need some recommendations on a desktop tower that can support this card for under 500 dollars. Any recommendations from a major manufacturer are greatly appreciated! I've been having a tough time just looking at specs figuring out whether or not many desktops support the size and power of this card.

Thanks in advance.

You would need a high-end motherboard from Intel or the lastest Saberooth TUF series for AMD CPU's in order to get the 3.0 PCIE lanes. Now, you would lose nothing at all when putting GPUs into 2.0 PCIE lanes. It's still x16 and that's what matters, you're getting full performance out of your GPU.
