With Amazon, the budget goes a bit high, but it is still acceptable since This build is very powerful. So blindly go for that and yeah, do not forget to select it as the best answer if it helped :)

Not sure, im still deciding I will need a day to research and decide about the graphics card, I will message you If I have further questions about the grpahics card. Are you SURE AMD processor will work with nvidia graphics card???

 
Wait a minute, that build is not worth it. It has a very bad processor and not a very good graphics card. For that budget you can build a beast Gaming PC with i5 4570 and a Nvidia 760 which is comparable to the 7950 and like 2.5 times more powerful than the card you selected. So, better put your money on this build as it is much much better than the one you selected.

Here is the beast :
