I tried my best to make a good build but I don't really understand much about how to prioritize different things.  Is this solid?

Go for a Haswell CPU (Will make CPU, Mobo, RAM all cheaper without losing much performance) and get a better GPU. Youll probably want a better PSU also, maybe like a 500W-600W EVGA

My Rigs:

You need to spend less on the processor, your graphic card is too bad! Get a core i5 4460 and a better video card like the r9 290 or at least r9 380.
