Not really, I would upgrade the 500GB to atleast a 1TB and a new Processor. What GPU do you have?

Go here and order before the sale ends. [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Great deal and you don't have to build it, plus you get rebates so it's even cheaper than it looks. Trust me, mine is from there and I love it.

For budget builds, always AMD. People will probably argue that but its fact they are cheaper. Look into a Phenom II X4 965 Black, they make good budget CPU's that hold their own and one of the only quad cores in that price range.

Tell us where you are from and we can put together a build for you.
