Default Budget PC

Hey all, New Member here.
I was wondering if someone could help me by recommending me computer parts for a new computer running on an $800 budget. It would be neat if it is within range of an i5 along with a graphics card that won't bottleneck it. I have done some searching myself: using other forums and sites like newegg, amazon, and ibuypower to look at parts and certain builds; but, I would always end up hitting the sum of around/over $900. To be more specific, the parts I'm looking for are: Motherboard, i5 processor(preferred), graphics card(that will utilize the i5), power-supply, RAM(4 minimum), hard-drive(320G minimum), cd-dvd burner(1 minimum).
I know the stuff i ask for may seem a bit ridiculous on a $800 budget, but it'd be nice still if i get some helpful advice/recommendations. thanks in advance.

Your request is a frequent one and never fails to garner several 'opinions' from our members.

CPU
Newegg.com - Intel Core i5-750 Lynnfield 2.66GHz 8MB L3 Cache LGA 1156 95W Quad-Core Processor - Processors - Desktops

Motherboard
Newegg.com - GIGABYTE GA-P55M-UD2 LGA 1156 Intel P55 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard - Intel Motherboards

RAM
Newegg.com - Kingston HyperX 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2000 (PC3 16000) Desktop Memory Model KHX2000C9D3T1K2/4GX - Desktop Memory

PSU
Newegg.com - CORSAIR CMPSU-650TX 650W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Compatible with Core i7 Power Supply - Power Supplies

GPU
Newegg.com - EVGA 512-P3-1150-TR GeForce GTS 250 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards

HDD
Newegg.com - Western Digital Caviar Blue WD5000AAKS 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive

DVD/CD burner

Looks like the tab is $753 if I can still add. Many (if not all) items have free shipping.

Thanks lots Cobracon for the quick reply and going through the trouble. I went through the items but apparently Hawaii isn't in newegg's free shipping. I'll try searching the parts on amazon and see what the difference is. (amazon is the only site I currently know that does free shipping for Hawaii)
