Forum Systems : Homebuilt Upgrade Help

I was curious if the community could help me with a PC upgrade. My current system is way outdated but has served me well it's just time for an upgrade. I have some pieces of my system I can hopefully keep (PSU, Cooling Fan, Optical Drive, HD). My PSU and Fan were replaced somewhat recently.

The PSU is an Antec Neopower500,
The Fan is a ZALMAN CNPS 9700 NT 110mm 2 Ball Ultra Quiet CPU Cooler. If it does'nt work and there is something better than by all means I don't have to keep it.

For a 500ish$ budget what do you guys think?

I guess what I need is

A Case
A GPU
Processor
Motherboard
Ram

I'm probably forgetting something.

Using the recent $500 gaming rig as a guide what's the most obvious upgrade since I'll already have some of the components.
