it is usually better to build something and than ask about options. the prices differ with country and region.

I suggest you give pcpartpicker a go. Mix and match parts and see if you can fit your $800 budget

Congrats, heres my pc recommendation,. Its overclockable and if you have a hard drive you can throw into it you'll drop below the 800$ mark you set. Or you could drop 8gb or ram to meet the mark too, but ram is so cheap now you might as well go with 16gb imo and then you'll only need video card upgrade next year, and cpu and video the year after.

The compatibility note about the ram, is erroneous, I run that motherboard and ram without issue, and its running at full speed.

Don't take this personally, but I'll pick apart your build there for a second:
The SSD and case are wonderful choices though.
Edit:
Also note that Intel will soon release the newer skylake-CPUs with DDR4 RAM and a little more performance/watt and higher ipc than haswell/broadwell, while AMD has new graphics cards in the pipe for release soon, which might change the pricing structure of nvidia's cards under the right conditions. One should ofc not wait too long, a pc has to be bought when it's got to be bought, but under the right conditions, one can also save money here and get more bang for buck

I use the 212 evo to overclock my 3.2 3258 to 4.5, so I would disagree with your assessment on the cooler, I know that I built what I felt was the best performance per the dollar on the budget he wanted to spend, and did specify the video card would need to be replaced in a year, and the cpu the year after. As for the PSU, I'm not gonna lie, I just smacked on a cheap 500w to finish off the build.
Edit, Non overclocking, stock fan, better psu, and still all intel at budget (by the way I agree on the r9 series, I run a 270 myself) But I did upgrade the choice on 960 for a higher clock speed to make up the difference in budget. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/PCY2GX
Final edit I think, here's a cap of my system at full load, 1.3ghz overclocked, using the Hyper212 EVO. I think it holds up pretty well, 31-32c at idle, at 72c at full load.

Last time I knew something about computer components and their price to performance ratio was about 8 years ago, so sorry, I can't help you. But I can thank you for the train.

I recently completed my bachelors and got a great job. This means less time for games and more real life stuff. However, I will now be able to buy a better PC and perhaps squeeze in some quality game time during weekends.
The train of life is now moving at a relatively greater speed.
PS: Can I get some suggestions regarding a PC build? I wanna keep it within $800 and go with Intel/Nvidia CPU/GPU setup.
