$73 - Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H Intel B75 mATX Motherboard
$46 - Corsair CMX8GX3M1A1333C9 8GB DDR3 1333 RAM

$95 - Samsung 840 120GB SSD
$74 - Western Digital Blue WD10EZEX 1TB 7200RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s Hard Drive
$18 - LG iHAS124-04 DVD Burner

$60 - Corsair Carbide Series 200R ATX Case

Unfortunately the budget wasn't high enough to fit an overclocking or good SLI/Crossfire support. But managed to get everything else in.
