I would say windows 8 because it does help in games (I still love windows 7) and the build looks good to me.

I would recommend the R9 280/x over the 960, The Vram will matter in the near future.

But Minecraft and CS GO is not very GPU intensive, I think it would be fine with a R7 260x/265 or 750ti

Why?

The G3258 is a powerful CPU, And it can be upgraded in the future.

And the GTX 960 and R9 280/x are good cards, And the GPU can almost always be upgraded.
