Can someone suggest a 500 dollar build specific to my needs? I primarily want to be able to run modern games at medium.

I have a http://h20565.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAG...

I'm planning on reusing the hard drive, case, keyboard and mouse, and monitor. I don't think i need to buy an os either because i have the disk lying around somewhere.

The 500 dollars is flexible

If the OS is an OEM it cannot be transferred. You also need a product key with that CD!
