I prefer:
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3eUr0

If you care about the extra 13$, remove the CPU Cooler, but I prefer having it if you wanna overclock this build. I recommend overclocking though, if you want a cheap build like this.

There is no way that a 500$-600$ build will beat ps4/xbox one on performance. But this build here, will give you 40-50FPS on BF4 at ultra for example. It can run alot of games on ultra at around 40 fps, depending on the game. Will work play any games on high-ultra, on high-end games like Crysis 3, you may need to play at around medium for 40-50 fps.

Hope this helps
