Processor AMD FX-6300 7.5k. It's cheaper and more effective in running Graphics Design Softwares due to more cores than intel but less effective in gaming due to weaker single cores.
Motherboard Asus M5A97 7.5k Best motherboard in the price range. If you wish to go for a better one then the M5A99 is Awesome for 10.5k
Corsair Vengeance that JJ has mentioned is good but it's 1333 and not 1600. The 1600 mark was reched in test conditions. Just wanted to mention. I know because I own the same.1600Mhz are really expensive and don't give as much a performace boost.
PSU Corsair VS650 4.2k. Again I'm using it and it's working just fine for me.
And with the money you save on PSU and Processor, upgrade the graphics card to R9280x, the performance boost over the 270x is huge. But if you do not wish to upgrade your gaming from 900p then stay with the 270x. That is more than enough for 99% of the games.
CPU cooler: CM Hyper 212x 3k

I researched for a few months and these are the parts I chose for my build. Except the graphics card though, I went with the Asus GTX 960.
Please correct me if I am wrong somewhere!
