Intel build is hard with this budget, it's possible but you are going to have a weaker graphics card compared to a fx-6300 system (which i would recommend).

For 500-600 I'd suggest a Intel i5 4440, MSI H87M-E35 , 8Gb of memory and a GTX 650ti. Find a good quality 500W 80+ PSU and any case and you'll have a decent gaming experience. Don't expect to play BF4 at ultra or anything, you'd probably have to tone it medium to get good frames.

If you get the cheaper ram+psu from my build it would be close to 650$ with a GTX 760 ;)
