To be honest, for a 1k budget this is bad. I'll comment with a list in a few minutes once I've finished making it :)

Everything. Once you realized that an intel i3 will built every chip amd makes in gaming fps benchmarks, you'll realize amd gave up on you. See sig.

What you have is really bad, a 120GB $110 SSD?  Your kidding right?  $50 SSDs of the same size exist. 

Go lower on the case so you can get more GPU or something else in.  Cheaper mobo too. 

PSU even, it's good quality but for AMD you really need atleast 650W or more.  That and $90 PSUs should have 750W+!

 

Add a 120GB SSD for $50, it'll be a cheap slow SSD but since your not going to write to it all the time, it'll be fine.

For the Best builds and Price lists here is a world where many points of the price have been predefined already for your convenience!

The Xeon E3 1231 V3 IS BETTER Than the Core i5 4690K and a Significantly better value for the non-overclockers or value shoppers.

The OS is like a kind food, Try it before saying if you like it or don't.

Worlds better. In every way. This i5 processor is so many magnitudes better than the one you picked out. The graphics card, RAM, and storage are also all better. You did the right thing posting this question, you would've made a HUGE mistake with that build. This computer I listed has no cut corners and no poor quality control. These are higher quality parts that also perform better. I also added the disc drive since I noticed you were buying the OS disc without listing an optical drive lol :)

To say it bluntly: I'd rather spend $1k buying crack and go to prison for the rest of my life then buy the PC you listed with that budget. But if you build the PC I linked you'll have one badass computer for a 14 year old
