the case is a BitFenix Prodigy-http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811345027&cm_re=mini_tower-_-11-345-027-_-Product
I would like to spend 600-800 dollars on the build.
 
Solution
With an small case like yours you should use
an amd apu. I suggest:
Amd a10-7850k,
any fm2+ mobo,
500gb
-1tb hdd,
windows 8.1(boosts fps),
any cheap dvdrw,
8gb 1866mhz ram,
500w psu(for future
upgrades),
and as many fans as possible
I suggest shops such as Ebuyer.com,
Newegg and Scan.com
Goodluck of your build :)

Firstly, if you want decent answers you need to provide more info in the OP. There's a sticky which is worth reading.
Otherwise all you'll get is (at best) PCpartpicker links of dubious benefits without any explanation of components.

As a general comment - doing a build in a Bitfenix Prodigy is fine, they are great cases but if you are using a proper graphics card then the windowed versions aren't a good choice. By replacing the side venting with a window you'll have a significant effect on graphics card temperatures. You can help this a little with a reference cooler but there's plenty of threads here (and elsewhere) commenting on poor graphics card performance due to the window.

It really depends what your build has to include (OS etc) but I'd imagine you'll probably be looking at something in the vein of an i5+280X/GTX770 range if you want to spend your full budget. Again, it really depends what you want to do with it (specifically) and what that money has to cover - check the sticky.
