What you're asking for is certainly possible, but we need to know a bit more first:1: Where are you purchasing? (country and state/province, city ideal)
2: What is the intended usage (gaming, editing, etc)?
3: Do you wish to overclock?
Once we know those, we can get to work on designing your PC.
+1 and if you need peripherals or not (mouse, keyboard, monitor etc.) included in the budget, not separately

Actually, he specified that he needed those in the thread title. I would have included that question otherwise.

"Can anyone"? Sure. A $350 loss leader from TigerDirect, and a random $90 monitor for just a little over 1/2 that.
However...that is probably not what you're looking for. What is the expected use for this?

Would it be efficient for you to drive to Orange County for a $40-60 savings?
Overclocking is, in short form, a way of increasing your performance. It literally means increasing your clocks (thus "overclocking") and in some cases your voltages. Done correctly, it's essentially free performance gains. Done incorrectly, you can actually lose performance, or even damage parts.

Overclocking is like getting a mostly free turbocharger for your car. And you personally have to install it.
Done right: "Hey...more power! For free!"
Done wrong: "Aw crap...now I need a new engine and transmission"

Once again, we can work around that. So, would getting to Orange County be viable? If so, you could get a combo from a store called Microcenter which would allow you to fit some better components into your build.

I left a little aside for mouse and keyboard (those are very much a personal preference part). I can cut a bit more if you need more for peripherals.

There are numerous online guides, including some on this very site if I'm not mistaken. The only physical change that would be required would be a CPU cooler.

$29.99 for a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo, which is one of the more efficient choices (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...).
I should note that I would recommend FX 6300 over i3 even without overclocking. Overclocking just adds that extra mile.

I left a little aside for mouse and keyboard (those are very much a personal preference part). I can cut a bit more if you need more for peripherals.
is the cpu better than an i3?
I would tend to say yes. Absolutely so if you overclock.
How would i overclock?
There are numerous online guides, including some on this very site if I'm not mistaken. The only physical change that would be required would be a CPU cooler.
how much extra would that be
$29.99 for a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo, which is one of the more efficient choices (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...).
I should note that I would recommend FX 6300 over i3 even without overclocking. Overclocking just adds that extra mile.
Dont i need the cooler anyways

I meant like 800$ in total including keyboard mouse windows and a monitor
Once again, we can work around that. So, would getting to Orange County be viable? If so, you could get a combo from a store called Microcenter which would allow you to fit some better components into your build.
yes that would work
Excellent. How does this look to you?

No. It has a stock cooler, but not one that you could comfortably overclock on. The stock cooler is fine for the CPU at stock clocks.
