Finished my shopping today, much earlier than I thought I would. My goal was to build a solid, nongaming family computer with room to grow a little for $500 not including monitor, mouse, keyboard and OS. I blew my budget pretty signicantly, mostly by splurging on the case. I was going to wait for a sale on the GX500, but found a case I liked a bit better although it was much more expensive. And we decided to add some color fans. Total is $567 all in with shipping and tax, assuming $60 in mail in rebates, plus I used a cashback portal for newegg, for a few more bucks back.
CPU: Core i5 4590 ($173 microcenter price match)
Mother Board: ASRock H97 chipset, pro4 ($71 new egg)
HD: WD Blue 7200 1TB ($55 newegg)
SSD: OCZ 120GB ($55 new egg, $10 MIR)
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 2x4GB ($61 new egg)
PSU: Corsair CS450 semi-modular 80+G ($30 new egg, $30 MIR)
Case: Thermaltake core V31 ATX mid ($65 Fry's, $10 MIR)
DVD/CD: Asus DRW-24B1ST ($20 new egg)
Two 120mm LED fans, color master ($15 new egg)
Belkin F9L1001 USB network adapter ($5 new egg)
Kingwin FPX-001 Fan Controller ($19 Fry's)
Waiting for the major components. Probably will start the build in earnest in a couple of weeks. I was able to get the fan controller installed in one of the optical drive bays with a 3.5 cutout using the adapter brackets included with the case. It was actually a bit challenging but looks pretty good. Tested the PSU with a couple of fans hooked to the controller and so far so good.
Thanks for all the help so far.
