I'll start it off I guess, not really be best price/performance ever, but it's the best I could do avoiding certain vendors I don't trust. Also, is this for gaming? Spending $150-300 on a GPU is mainstream for gaming PCs.

The build you want to overclock:

CPU: AMD FX-8350 4.0GHz 8-Core Processor ($186.99 @ Amazon)
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler ($29.98 @ Outlet PC)
Thermal Compound: Arctic Silver 5 High-Density Polysynthetic Silver 3.5g Thermal Paste ($6.20 @ Outlet PC)
Motherboard: ASRock 970 EXTREME4 ATX AM3+ Motherboard ($79.99 @ Amazon)

Just realized you said no overclocking, yet picked an 8350. Because if you aren't overclocking Intel is the way to go at this CPU price range for gaming.

Non OC build:

CPU: Intel Core i5-3350P 3.1GHz Quad-Core Processor ($169.99 @ Newegg)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H Micro ATX LGA1155 Motherboard ($69.98 @ Outlet PC)

Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($54.99 @ Amazon)
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 760 2GB Video Card ($249.99 @ Newegg)
Case: Corsair 200R ATX Mid Tower Case ($49.99 @ Newegg)
Case Fan: Corsair Air Series SP120 High Performance Edition (2-Pack) 62.7 CFM 120mm Fans ($27.99 @ Amazon)
Power Supply: Corsair Builder 600W 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX12V Power Supply ($31.00 @ Newegg)
Optical Drive: LG GH24NS95 DVD/CD Writer ($15.98 @ Outlet PC)

*Note both builds have EVERYTHING you need except the screwdriver, so just subtract parts you might already have.*
