Everything is pretty much top notch except for the graphics card. If you wanna play everything maxed out 60 fps, you might wanna upgrade to a 670 or 680. 660 ti if you don't wanna shell out 400 bucks but don't mind slight fps drops

The 7870 XT is an excellent middle-ground GPU with nearly the performance of the 7950 for slightly higher cost than the 660. That said, the 660 is also an excellent choice.

500-550w is fine, but cases with built-in PSUs are a no-no and Raidmax is one of the absolute worst PSU brands. I would recommend a SeaSonic, Corsair, Antec, or XFX PSU (the XFX Core Edition 550w is a particularly efficient and high-quality option), coupled with a cheaper case to compensate (such as the Corsair 200R).
