As of today my ideal system would be:
Intel i7-3770K - $320 (get the K version in case necessary)
A better heatsink - $50
Asrock - Z77 Extreme 4 - $145
16GB DDR3 1600 - $110
256GB Plextor PX-256M5P - $240
3TB WD - $120
Case, 500W Bronze PS - $100
No video card to save money and energy.
Win 7 Home OEM - $114
Total cost: $1199.
