Good CPU and GPU match up?

I plan on building my first rig and was wondering if the AMD Quad-Core A10-5800k paired with a Geforce GTX 760 would be a good choice for a budget build. Ive heard an i5 would be a better option, but the only two in my range would either be a 4570 or the 4430 i5. The reason i am considering the AMD is simply cause the barebone kit it comes with is in my range, comes with basically everything needed to get going minus a GPU and would still leave enough in my budget to get the GPU along with a screen. For those curious, the CPUs listed above are all in barebone kits and the one just mentioned is this: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=8926444&CatId=31

Might be useful information, this is going to be mainly a gaming rig, as far as the games that I will be running, just about any type from bf4 to games that don`t need a high end gpu/cpu match up at all.

nice build, logain, you are missing the ram tho...

This will perform pretty much the same in current games and cost less, but in the long run i think is more futureproof as this CPU can handle 8 heavy threads and allow for CPU overclocking:
