Go for a nice ATX motherboard, since you invested in an expensive ATX case. Something like the 990FX-Extreme3

Problem is, I'm already overbudget and that'll bring the build to 900 dollars.

This still maintains to be better than the one you posted, seeing as you will be able to safely overclock.

Get this PSU http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1550sxxb9 and a FX 6300. I'd say just go with what SLS said. ^

I wouldn't get the G43 mobo since it can have issues with fx 8 cores from what I've read.

 

@T.Vengeance What's the system being used for?
