Hi, I was looking at building a new PC which I will use for medium games such as Counter Strike: GO, maybe BF4 and others. Mainly wanted to know if its a decent build and if the graphics card is al-right, thanks in advance.
Build:
Case: Thermaltake Commander MS-II Mid Tower Case
PSU: SilverStone Strider Essential Series ST50F-ES 500W Power Supply
CPU: Intel Core i5 4440 Quad Core LGA 1150 3.1GHz CPU Processor
RAM: Kingston ValueRam 8GB DDR3 1600MHz Memory KVR16N11/8
GPU: Gigabyte Radeon HD 7750 OC 2GB Video Card
HDD: Seagate 500GB Barracuda 3.5â 7200RPM SATA3 Hard Drive - ST500DM002
DISK: Samsung SH-224DB (BB) 24x Internal SATA DVD OEM Burner Drive
OS: Windows 7 Home Preium 64 Bit
My budget is around $600-$700 max
Answer
Missing a motherboard. Ratio of CPU cost to graphics cost is not optimized for gaming. Gaming performance is based on the graphics card unless bottlenecked by a weak CPU. HDD is small by today's standards. PCPARTPICKER.com helps with shopping and compatibility.
Your list is considered an entry level of gaming for 2013 with high upgradability because of the powerhouse CPU in comparison to a mid-level graphics card. That is even low among HD 7750's as it is a DDR3 RAM card. Low performance on the ram also. That is a 1x8GB, and ram runs better in pairs.
It is also a CAS 11, though supposed to be programmable.
Still meets BF4 medium settings

You can get a more balanced build of much higher performance at a lower price.
You choose between an i3 for later upgrade to i5, or an AMD FX-6300 for example and with a better CPU cooler can overclock to FX-6350. It is a bit top ended as a CPU but matches an i5 in non-gaming and is an adequate gaming CPU at a much lower price. The motherboard would be different.
It is good enough for Counterstrike GO

Gaming performance of what you show is beat by a finished $580 system

That graphics card you show only shows for sale at a big premium price of $94. Performance match at $70: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121633
It is beat by $80 cards.
Can't find that case in stock in major US sources. I am now guessing you are in Australia and not sure where you are getting your parts.

Answer
This is pretty good, and building a PC is easy. The hardest part may be connecting everything to the motherboard.
These parts will run all games pretty smoothly, and will fit your budget.
Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129066 It's a pretty good and stylish case for it's price
Motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168131
31637 It's a pretty good mobo. Supports SLI too if you want to add another 560/
Video Card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130610 It is a VERY POWERFUL card without going ridiculous on the price. It will run all games smoothly until est. 2013 - Q3 2014.
RAM: 4GB is enough but 8 should cover multitasking. Try to find 1333Mhz.
Power Supply: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139024 It's a very good power supply. Corsair makes very good quality PSUs, and is enough to power everything.
Processor: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103934
I know I didn't list other parts, so you have find those yourself.
I recommend getting extra fans or water cooling if you want to keep your system stable.
These parts will play Battlefield 3 on max settings smoothly, other games too.
