It is indeed a nice build however,

It is a tiny bit above 1000, but the 770 will perform better than the 660Ti.
Also, the FX-6300 is basically the same thing as 6350, except the 6350 is just overclocked.
You can overclock your CPU to easily get the same performance, or better, as the FX-6350

Infact, if you could save another 150-200$, you could swap over to an i5-4670k and a nice mobo. Intel is much more reliable than AMD, and the 4670k has much more performace.
