For $500 (+/- a few $), could I make a stable computer able to play a new game at low/med settings without lag?

Short answer, yes. You can build a fairly decent system for $500.

Ah, thanks. My parents are getting me a $529 dollar computer and we're going to swap out the graphics card.

Uh what? Desktops are extremely easy to replace parts in. I've never seen a company custom cut parts so you were unable to replace them. (Aside from custom builds people make themselves with strange style cases etc.)

No, he means the PSU. The PSUs with OEM machines are cut out to the exact needed power requirement and nothing more. You'll be lucky if you can put a lower profile card in there, if that.

If thats the case, does anyone have a link for a pre-built that can do what my post says? I'd build one, but my parents aren't okay with that.

yeah , you would be better off buying the parts your self and putting it all together, which isnt hard.
