Please use PC Part Picker.

On the other note, you can't build a computer with just a processor and a motherboard...

 

Edit: I see you updated your post with all the parts required to build a computer.

Dont get a fx6300... It's a 4 year old CPU, buy a good I3 or something youll do much better 

Partpicker exists for a reason

I know you probably wanted something along those lines, but Ill try my best to put together something for you on a budget.

[i didn't add an HDD since you said you have one]

[You can use the stock cooler with the i3, mine tops out at 60c even with California weather]

You can also swap 8.1 with 7 if you so please, but I don't recommend it [both can switch to 10 if you wanted]

Hindered overclocking ability, but the i3 cant OC anyway.

It also doesn't support SLI, so get the strongest single-gpu you can.

My buddy has the same motherboard, and I was able to get his Pentium up to 4.0GHz without a sweat. Its been running smooth for months with no problems

- And, unless you plan on plugging in a network of USB devices, what this mobo has to offer is extraordinary for the price.

What's your goal for this computer? Because if its rendering or video editing, the I3 ain't going to do shit.

I decent I3 will do more than a fx 6300, but if its for rendering and editing Hes gonna need a bigger budget anyway.

I am from the netherlands

 

prices come from megekko.nl but i can not advice the store (bad reviews)

I decided to buy at arzety.nl now, just for the service (€30 more total)

I have now chanced the build to this : http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Z9YpLk 

 

- I got a smaller case (micro-atx) (less case fans)

- No custom cpu cooler.

 

- So now I could get a I5 4460 without to much of a price increase (only €10 more when comparing builds costs in a dutch store)

 

The motherboard is a bit overkill for a locked cpu. but I just dont want to go for a cheap motherboard :P

Is it any possibility that you order from Germany? (they have much lower prices)
