Any Gaming build under 500 for 2014

[Sniper1984]

Hi I am seeking a new gaming desktop.And am looking to spend under $500.00 USD. I'm not sure if its possible but am looking to get the best bang for the buck so to speak.My requests are that the system if possible be at least 3.5Ghz or greater in a quad core,8gb memory,has an ssd,and at least a decent 2gb gpu if possible.Price range can vary if it is not to insane but am looking to keep it as close to 500 as possible.This will include the tower,the OS is not included in this price.Accessories will not be included in the price either. If you can include the OS in the price would be amazing.Any help here would greatly be appreciated. This system will be used for running games similar to BF4, daizy, eve, and other similar programs. Thanks in advance. Also will be purchasing this build within the week if possible.

IT was impossible to for me to put 8gbs of ram with an OS for $500. This is the best i can do to perform in 2014 games.

the GTX 750 is pretty good for doing medium at 60 fps in most modern games at 1080P
and a OS is insane in this kind of build
and when you said Daizy i think you meant Dayz ?

Why the Toshiba HD for $30 more? its only 5400RPM... Take the money of the HD and put into the 750ti IMO.

Its up to the buyer if he wants a stronger GPU or an uncessary 5400rpm SSHD.

Pretty similar to FractalDesignCore's build, just got a cheaper (but well-known) optical drive and a better PSU and case. Price maintained the same.
