not sure what prices are for you.... but in US money thats $336 budget. With that budget in USA:

I'd get an FX 8350 for $190 and an ASUS m5a99x motherboard $125 (also has a $20 mail in rebate)

You went for a top shelf Video card out of the box and left yourself with no room for anything else. This will work: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/coastie65/saved/#savedb...

An i5-4670k is a great CPU... I'd also get the ASUS 990FX Extreme to go with it.
