1080p gameplay will be dependant on your graphics card more than your CPU. So, my advice is to build around that: 955 BE or 960T AMD CPU (960T can unlock to 6 cores if you are lucky and 955 BE overclocks well). The 4 AMD cores provide good price for performance as well.

corsair TX 750 ~ 95
corsair 8 GB DDR3 ~ 45
GIGABYTE GA-970A-UD3 ~ 115
960T (Zosma) ~ 110 OR 955 BE ~ 110
HD 6950 ~ 265 (Sapphire Flex priced) OR HD 6870 ~ 179

total cost to you: 630 for HD 6950 setup OR 544 for HD 6870 setup

keep in mind to OC you will need a good aftermarket heatsink and that will run you 30 dollars

another notation: the power supply cost is post-rebate sorry, so that adds 10 dollars to the setup...you could drop it to a 650W safely, but I prefer the headroom for future upgrades and safety in overclocking. Gigabyte board is also an AM3+ socket, so if you find yourself CPU limited in the near future you can upgrade to piledriver if it delivers
