2500k
EVO is a bit better
get low profile ram.
mushkin chronos deluxe,sammy 830 120~128gb ssd fit under your budget.
you can easily fit a 7970 or 7950 in your budget.7870 is better option for under $400 tag.
TX750M is a solid psu.remember to get "V2".they are better.
Don't spend so much on a case.get a decent and reasonably priced case like 500R,phantom,thor v2 are great choices.take one that fits you best.
Asus makes some great monitors.23" is a great size to game on.there are great asus monitors under $200.
any $30~40 headset is good.get only if it's required.
X4 would be my choice.
G500 is a great mouse.
