Looks pretty good.

The only thing I would change is the ram and maybe the power supply.

You only need 8 gigs for gaming and I would get a 2x4 gig set.

Looks good, you should find a 2x8gb kit for your ram, should save you a little money.

It's ok... but I wont really suggest getting a GTX 760. Get a R9 270 or 280 instead if you have to stick with that budget. But I'd suggest spending 100$ more and get a GTX 970 instead much better for only 100$ more.

Whats wrong about the power supply?

Alright, will look into that for RAM.

I would go with a 500w power supply if I was you because I never know if I am going to load a system up with drives and another GPU.

I just like to have some headroom. If you know you are not going to upgrade anything, then that is a good power supply. I even have one in a system I built.

Hi, what about this? It is slightly more expensive but a lot more performance. You wont be able to OC your CPU however but it is equivalent to i7 so you will get more multi threaded performance.
