It's not the best build you can have.

 

Intel are irrefutably better for gaming in terms of CPUs even when the AMD CPU is overclocked, therefore I've changed the FX/CLC/Mobo combo for an i5 and motherboard. The stock cooler will do fine. The GTX 960 is a good card, but not the best value. The R9 280 offers more power for less money.
