A few things:

- You won't get a 650-800W power supply for under $60. Even if you could, it would be overkill for any graphics card that costs less than $130.

- You're definitely not getting a 144Hz monitor for less than $115. And again, even if you could, a graphics card under $130 wouldn't make it worth the money.

Personally, I would change a few parts, but by going with your guidelines, here is what I suggest:

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

CPU: AMD FX-8320 3.5GHz 8-Core Processor ($125.99 @ SuperBiiz)
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler ($28.40 @ Amazon)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P ATX AM3+ Motherboard...

If you really want the best performance for your money, I would drop down to an FX-6300 and buy the R9 280, a significantly better card than the R7 265. Even getting an i3 and a cheap H97 board with a better graphics card would be better IMO.
