Here you are. I made some changes. 

I through in the FX-6300 it is a much better CPU. OCs well and will last you a long time. 

I also through in an aftermarket CPU cooler. It will keep the CPU running cooler and will be much quieter. 

That motherboard is crap. It is unreliable and is based around an ancient chipset. There are NO good mATX AM3+ motherboards. You must go ATX if you want to go AM3+. I through in an Asus M5A97 R 2.0. It is a much better motherboard and has more features and is way more reliable.

Your RAM, GPU, and HDD are all fine. I kept those. I couldn't find your exact RAM so I through in some that is similarly priced. Just go for whatever is cheapest. RAM is RAM for the most part. 

I changed out the PSU and got a cheaper one. Just as good. 

I had to change your case. The case you chose doesn't support the ATX motherboard you need for this build. I picked the Fractal Design Define R4. It is an excellent case and cheaper. 

It comes to $754 ish. However, you're prob gonna need a copy of Windows so that will add another $100.
