i would go with the gtx770, fx 8320, but i would reccommend getting a better board than the GB 970A-DS3P AM3

e.g.
Asus M5A99FX PRO

so do games not run on your ASUS M5A99FX Pro R2.0 || AMD FX 8320 @4.2GHz || Kinston HyperX Predator 8GB @1866MHz CL9 || Sapphire R9 280x Toxic

sure, everything runs pretty well, but if you mainly game, an i5 of the new haswell generation would give you a better experience because it has a much better single-threaded performance
most muliplayer-games are cpu-bounde, they benefit from that performance

i choose the fx 8320 because I mainly use this pc for my work as a programmer, where i can benefit from the 8 cores and yeah, I love amd, I've always had amd cpus and gpus and I will stick with them

but in terms of raw processor perfomance, nobody beats the intel haswell generation at the moment, that's just facts
maybe not always on paper, but in terms of gaming for sure

yes but you are talking about the current generation of games, with the new line up of consoles it wouldnt surprise me that newer games will make use of more cores
