Another Gaming Build

I recently built a gaming PC. However, at my workplace, the computers there can barely run Crysis 3. With your advice, I want a gaming PC for $500-$600. I already have the monitor and OS...I just need the general build. And, bringing a case and a 27" monitor isnt practical.

Processor
Must be an Intel Core i3-4130 or higher

RAM
AT least 4GB

Motherboard
Must support 32GB of RAM, 4 RAM slots, USB 3.0, and 6 Sata 6GB ports

Storage
1TB Western Digital: $60
SSD optional, add it if you can

Video Card
Has to be an EVGA, Sapphire, or Gigabyte and at least 1GB of GDDR5

Case
Corsair 200R ($70)

Power Supply
Dosent really matter what kind

Optical Drive
Lite On ($20)

So, the things that are must haves I still need to buy. They come to $150. I can spend a total of $350-450.
 
I tried, but couldn't beat mfenn's list. I could find an Asus H81 and i3-4330 combo for $1 more, but it's a much more spartan motherboard, and the 100MHz won't make any real difference.
