I'm looking to spend under $500

Well then you're not really going to get much...

Well it's okay
What's your Processor?
If it's good enough go ahead, GT 430 is OKAY, but it can run Black Ops at around 60FPS as it's capped
It could run Skyrim at around 30FPS on Max i'll guess.
it runs Just Cause 2 at medium, but i can do systems for £384 but you sacrifice ALOT in the processnig

Would I be able to put all those in my computer?
>external hard drive
>in my computer

I don't want some super-powerful computer that can support crysis graphics
You don't even need that powerful of a computer to play Crysis.

You can probably keep the case and the hard drive.
The hard drive maybe, but the case looks like it has stuffty ventilation, so if you reuse that you won't want something that runs pretty hot.

You can get something decent for $500 if you built it yourself.

The video card is pretty stuffty


http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=580986&CatId=5138 - This is the best you can get, go $150 overboard, save up a bit.
I just don't have that much money.....

Can you suggest any parts?



First off, the parts you suggested aren't the best, are incompatible and unbalanced.
I can sort out a parts list for you. Won't be long.

Do you want the $500 to include Windows 7? It will impact the parts heavily.
