Sure. Priority in gaming is always 1) Graphics Card, 2) CPU. R9 280x is a good performing card, with 3GB (that most cards don't have) - and is great at the correct market price. So I have 2 builds, one overclocked that you can use to boost up your system - straightaway or when you need more juice down the road.
*Didn't select Windows 7/8 under purchasing list

***Overclocked Version (Slightly over budget)
