Tom's had a good article building a $600(including a $100 OS) gaming computer just a week ago.

In the article he states that for being able to upgrade he would go with an Intel pentium instead(that way you can grab an i3 or i5 later on if you want and keep the same board), which is the way I'd personally do it looking something like this, except I'd also switch to an Nvidia GPU.
$500 before any rebates
