$500 dollar gaming computer help!

Hello,
I was planning to build a cheap gaming PC for around $500. Could you guys give me a couple of different combinations of what I could put together. I'm planning to run BBC2 and some other game

$502 - $20 rebates = $482

You'll still need Windows.

You can upgrade to ivy bridge down the road. You'll need to upgrade the psu if you upgrade the cpu though. This cpu will be plenty fast for gaming for now.
