The partpicker seems to be down so have to do this in an other way,
look for the cpu to a fx 6300
look for a motherboard to Asus M5A97 R2.0 or Asus M5A97 EVO R2.0 or even the Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3P
for ram look at good 1600/1866mhz ram 2x4gb.
this should be within your budget.If you have money to spare could you either go for the fx 8320 or get a nice cooler on the cpu for some overclocking.
