I agree with going for the 850 SSDs, the 3D nand looks great, though the 840 evo 250gb is at a pretty attractive price point right now. Anyways.

If you want to stick with AMD I would suggest this:

I would still prefer Intel though, even though this is a locked i5, it will still outperform the AMD cpus in most things. However, this one is ~$50 over budget.

The above builds are good, but this one has the most bang for your buck at a bit over 850$ (OP's assumed budget as his build is around 850$):
