For the price point... seem fair I guess? Have you ever consider the option to buy 2nd hand? You could get a better deal than buying new. I feel really uncomfortable with someone buying a FX-6300 in this day and age...

As for the game:

I'd up that FX 6300 to an Intel i3 and pair it with a much better quality PSU:

For $800 CAD, I'll go for a Skylake i5 and DDR4 RAM. Stick with the SeaSonic PSU, it's much better quality than that EVGA 500B.

 

I'll also get the R9 380 over the GTX 960 which will perform better in the vast majority of games.

I would still stick with the same SeaSonic PSU. The quality of the 500B is still not good enough to be paired with a GPU like that.

 

The XFX R9 380 I picked has better cooling than that of the subpar Gigabyte model.
