I would spend a little more and get a 7850/7870, it's worth it IMO

What programs are you using?

 

On another note, your build looks pretty solid. Would bump up to a fx 6300 though.

a pretty well balanced build, almost exactly like mine.

The only thing that is the same is the CPU

I still dislike low end Asus Mobos.... go for asrock or gigabyte

 

If you can save up 100 more USD you could get a much better build:
