Can anyone get something better & cheaper than this? Budget is $700 & below.

Everything looks good and the psu is able to handle it.

Try to add an ssd if your budget allows it as it will improve performance by a LOT. $120 for a 128GB Samsung 840 Pro.

It depends on your budget...

The 8320 is a good 8 core cpu at $160. while it has 8 cores, it has a lower clock speed than your current 6 core choice.

The only real upgrade would be the 8 core 8350 at 4.0Ghz but its 200$.

I'd say somewhere below $700. I don't care much for the cpu & mobo as long as the gpu is good and i can get a decent fps on crysis 3. I'm using my 19" monitor so i think that's below 1080p.
