You should try to squeeze in a better gpu, if you want to do more serious gaming.

I dunno how your build came out to 500 (Probs cos of Mobo) but that 7850 will run the game excellently in high at 1080p, provided it doesn't run out of VRAM. If you are playing at 1080p, I would go with tenaciousk's build, but only with 4GB of ram, and a 2GB 7850. You can then purchase another stick of ram in a couple weeks (as 4 GB is enough for now)

How many times are you gonna ask this same question? Til you get someone to give you the answer you want to hear?

What game will it run in 1080p?

7850 1gb will run BF3 at 1080p. Probably Crysis 3 too. Both you'll have to turn down the detail some to get it butter smooth (Crysis 3 probably a lot). If you can handle a few framerate drops the 7850 1gb can run BF3 at 1080p on ultra and 4xAA (http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/graphics/2012/11/05/msi-radeon-hd-7850-1gb-review/3)
