I'm trying to compile my own budget build for 500 USD.
Here's what I have so far; http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3lamw
I want to know if there's anything wrong with it or if there's any other adjustments I should make.
I do not plan to overclock either the CPU or GPU.

The build is fine. No DVD but probably this is on purpose.
