I'd like a second opinion on building a budget gaming machine for my brother.

budget is $1000

I've compiled something together for around $850. Some of the parts being on sale. However, I'd like to see if anyone could throw one together that's better in performance within the budget, meets minimal requirements for lowest possible price or the best overall performance for the price. link included would be greatly appreciated.

nothing too extreme. these are probably the bare minimum i'd say.

i5 equivalent or higher.
4gb ram
at least 500gb hdd
msi geforce gtx560 (settled on more of a budget card) NCIX.com - Buy MSI GeForce GTX 560 Ti Twin Frozr II OC 880MHZ 1GB GDDR5 Dual DVI Mini-HDMI DX11 PCI-E Video Card - MSI/MicroStar - N560GTX-TI Twin Frozr II/OC - in Canada
700w psu (give or take)

thanks in advance.
