Budget PC build - $450 to $500 range

Thanks. I was actually thinking about switching over to Intel. Currently running AMD and I'm not particularly impressed.
Haven't heard much about Futura since they don't have a branch out here in the Midwest. I assume they're reliable?

Another classic request for help. 🙂
I'm just looking for the case within this price range.
The PC will be used for gaming—plus browsing and watching movies—but I’m not looking for anything flashy.
If we look at a five-year lifecycle, I'd want it to run newer titles on at least medium settings for the first two years. For the remaining three, if it can't handle them, it doesn't matter.
When a graphical beast like The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt comes out, it’s enough if it runs at a stable 30 fps on low settings. I know The Witcher is an extreme example, but it serves as a baseline for my expectations.
Also, which retailers would you recommend? Assuming they offer free assembly and/or shipping if I buy everything from them.
