Default 500$ build

i was wondering what i can do with 500$ i like intel, i did nto want to go AMD, but might it be better budget wise? i was thinking q6600 or any dual core with a fsb of 1333. is this at all possible? it is a rig that will game just slightly.

Q6600 may be overkill. Opt for the E7200 so you can budget in the RAM.
