Prices can fluctuate a lot between countries, so 900 US might not translate to whatever the retailers actually sell your parts at. Like Australia has a crazy huge mark up on electronics for no good reason, other than greed.
What's cheap here might be expensive there, but i'll give you some general models and you can see if they work for you. Also do you own windows 8.1 or is that gonna need to be factored into the price of the build?
