You need Vista for DX10.
I'd say go Intel but you'd end up spending more. xD
It's hard to build a gaming computer with 500 dollars. Why don't you wait it out until you save more and parts drop in price some. I almost went with some crap parts because I wanted a great build for under 650. I waited until I had a grand it made all the difference.

Thanx Guys~
And for everyone, I'm not saving my own money for this, My dad is buying it for me. And Believe me, $500 is stretching it already, and also, I don't need a REALLY good computer. What I'm getting now is more than enough for me.
I am barely going to be gaming on it. I just wanted a computer that could do everything, not like ONLY Extreme Gaming. Its just an all around computer, like a media center PC.
I am buying a 22-24" monitor when I get enough money, what would be a good one to go with? One with a good Dollar/Feature Ratio.
And and to note, It MUST have HDMI because I am going to be using an Xbox 360 with it as well.
*Edit:
Just got my upgraded internet tonight... OMFG
My computer is flying. I used to have about 1.2Mb/s, and now its around 8.1Mb/s, its absolutely amazing. :3

If it really needs to be under $500, here's a decent build:
CPU: Phenom II 720
Mobo: ASRock 790GX (Identical to the 790X, but with the added bonus of integrated video, which is useful sometimes)
Memory: 2x2GB 1066
GPU: HD 4830
PSU: OCZ 500W
Case: Antec 300
Total: $476

Okay I need your help again.
New Egg is so annoying how they cancel items day to day, and you have to go and completely re-do your build.
Apparently the Video Card I chose is now "Dis-activated".
So could anyone help me choose one that is similar in Price and Features as the on in the first post?

Or order that card from TigerDirect.com if they have it in stock.
