It all depends on what you want. theres a lot to think about:
-what else will you be doing with your pc? ex. music, picture storage, movies, video editing.
-what graphics brand do you want?
-price?
-how high end to you want it?
its really whatever you want to do.
money is the main limit for most.

Is it the 4770K? With the K at the end signifying it is an unlocked processor

A $500 budget is practically impossible to make use of that processor

The i7 is really too strong for this build if that makes sense. If you can stretch your budget a bit more it will make sense to keep the i7

$800-1000 not including the OS or the processor. Maybe a little less, but much lesser and your going to have certain hardware bottle neck the rest of your system.
