If you want to game well from day one I can't put the monitor in the $500 budget.

I'll make a second build with a monitor without a graphics card which you can add later.

Changed CPU as well it has better integrated video which you'll need since you don't have a graphics card. Added Monitor. Will allow decent play on all but the latest titles if you'll turn the settings down a bit
