Cheapest option
Fx 8320
Gigabyte 970a-ud3p
212 evo cooler

The 3 above will easily get you 4.2-4.5ghz over clocks.

The reason me & the guy above suggest the 8320 is simply because its cheaper & will clock to at least 8350 speed & 99% likely more.
They are the same chip with different multipliers set at a hardware level.
The 212 evo is the best bang for buck air cooler around.
Yes the 100i is a better cooler but once you get above 4.4ghz or so its pretty much irrelevant as the vrm/northbridge & board voltages will limit you more than the CPU temps.

The above all from aria
Doesn't include GPU - you can pick a decent sapphire 270x from amazon for £120 or a r9 280 or a gtx 760 for £140
That's £520 or £540 dependant on you but you'll have a very very decent gaming build for your money either way.

I know this is a late reply, however I am running the fx 8320 @ 4.9 GHz, vcore @ 1.5v, LLC @ 50%, cpu nb @ 2448, NB HT@ 2648 with Thermaltake CLW0217 Water 2.0 Extreme/All-In-One Liquid Cooling System temps at idle stay between 27-29c under heavy load it can get up to 60c , normal game play stays around 50-52c also running the ASUS sabertooth 990fx MB. This build runs stable with no issues at all,
