Looking for a nice budget gaming rig.

Ok so I have decided to work on a new gaming rig as my old one started to go recently. I mostly play WoW, SC2 and soon to be Diablo 3. I'm looking for a rig that can handle these games smoothly, I don't need the very best graphics obviously but I need it to at least look nice and have slightly above average looks.

My budget is loosely 500$ plus or minus about 100$. I am Canadian, but am willing to ship things if the price is right. I will be making this computer myself and already have a mouse/keyboard/OS as well as hard drive, DVD drive and monitor which I will salvage from my old rig.

So just looking for the guts including a new case. I would love some help as I'm very bad at finding compatible products. I plan on using Windows 7 64bit, so at least 6-8gb of ram would be required.

I'm not looking for anything top of the line or excessively flashy, and as for upgrading, this is not something I often do. So I don't really need a bunch of extra slots for things I won't use. Upgrading memory is about as far as I go in upgrading. So just a bare bones budget gaming computer!

Thanks for any and all help. :)

Well when you take out the OS, Hard Drive, and DVD Drive, it's around $475 so it's pretty well on budget.

Thanks! Those were some of the parts I was looking at and was just wondering how well they were really and also the compatibility

Be aware that is newegg.com, so that's the US one. Go to www.newegg.ca and just look up the same products.
