I am sorry for a no compromise build you would have to go for 30 dollars above the budget. Because this is the build in which no compromises are made. Everything from a CPU to Motherboard to PSU to HDD and to Graphics Card and to the Case everything is very good on it's own (for the price). So going for anything lower would be like compromising quite a lot, so better spend 30 extra dollars and get this build which has everything of high quality and no compromises are made.
So here is the build :

Well... a lot of time has passed since I suggested this build to you. Also now new parts have came in and prices have dropped, so you should look at this build which is a lot more powerful for similar price. Thanks to all the price drops.

I hope this helps.
It should play games at well above 40+ FPS on high settings at 1080p. The Athlon 750K and the 7850 2GB should make a good pair.
You can also expect better performance in many games, so it is a very good build.
