I guess that really depends on what you're going for, but as a low-budget solution, I would say that it's not bad. The i5 is definitely a good choice as your next upgrade and I would probably save for a new GPU after that.

Thanks, I can run Crysis 3 on high with no aa or msaa, i have the card overclocked to 1050 mhz on the core and 5800 mhz memory clock running it on 1096 mV. At stock speeds it runs at like 30 celcius at idle but overclocked like that it runs at 40 celcius and full load in furmark it gets to 70 celcius

I know AMD has some really cheap CPUs but I am gonna stick with Intel for now until I save up and get a nice AMD cpu a better gpu and a H100 or H100i

If your planing on going intel later get intel now if your planing to go amd later get amd now

It looks decent enough. Add a ssd if possible.
