1080p PC! Help w/ case, mobo, and CPU under $200

Rayve

So I got some extra parts for XMAS that includes an Antec EarthWatts 750w PSU, 6GB (I think I have 12 GB of ram I can use instead) of Corsair XMS3 DDR3-1600 ram (3x2GB), an EVGA GTX 780 SC (3 GB), a 120 gb 840 evo, and 2 1TB WD Greens. Now, I have another $200 I can spend for the CPU, Mobo, and case, and I want the best value I can get. I plan to run games at 1080p, and I was thinking about an FX-6300 as a processor since it (suprisingly) stacks up well against Intel processors around $100. Also, as for size, in a perfevt world i would like a Mini ITX build but it doesnt matter. So yeah, CPU, Mobo, and case suggestions under $200. Suggestions?

[P.S. a couple dollars over $200 is fine]

ok bai nao

With more cores on AMD side and the fact that the i3 cant play GTA and Dragon Age..
