850$ is quite a bit for hardware like that. I7 930 came quite a long time ago.

For 850, you should be able to get a

Sandybridge 2600K or Ivy Bridge 3770K CPU ~$350 (if you really need 8 threads, if not, then save moola and get a 2500k or 3570K)
Z77 mobo ~$200
8GB ram ~$50
XFX 750W PSU ~$70 MIR
Case + DVD drive ~$120 (depends on your choice really...)
1TB drive ~$100
Xonar DG ~$30
Testing and Assembling $50

Somewhat out of your budget, but hey, everything is brand new :P

Hope this helps!
