- ASUS Micro ATX DDR3 1600 LGA 1150 Motherboard B85M-G ($85)

- Corsair Vengeance 8GB (1x8GB) DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory ($105)

- WD Blue 1 TB Desktop Hard Drive: 3.5 Inch, 7200 RPM, SATA 6 Gb/s, 64 MB Cache ($60)


- Asus 24x DVD-RW Serial-ATA Internal OEM Optical Drive ($20)

I'd probably get 2x4gb RAM modules than a single 8gb module. I would also get a better PSU, the CX series have cheap capacitors. Look for XFX, Seasonic, Antec Neo Eco or HCG, Rosewill Capstone. One of these can ususally be found on sale for reasonable money. Where are you located?
