The cards a little bit low end for the CPU. Perhaps you could stretch your budget and get something better like a HD7970 or do what guggi4 said and downgrade your CPU to an i5 and then get a new graphics card. The rest of the build seems fine.

This is a revised version of your build. Switched you down to an i5, as its plenty for gaming. I also gave you a better storage solution, and a faster gpu. Its a little over budget, so if you need to you can drop down to an r9 280X or a gtx 760. I would suggest sticking with the 770 though.

I don't understand. A 7970 is more expensive than a 770 and I suggested the i5. I'm a little confused.
