You could save a lot and I'll show you.
CPU: get the fx-6300. better price and performance.
Cooler: Much better and worth the extra cost.
Mobo: Excellent overclocker on a budget.
RAM: Cheaper and faster. 2x4GB is better.
GPU: 750ti if you can afford it.
Case: 300R at $40 is a steal. It'll hold everything you need and cool well.
PSU: XFX is one of the best quality. Raidmax is horrible.

For your budget you're better off getting a Athlon X4 750K and a good gaming FM2+ board such as the MSI A88X-G45 so you can potentially do crossfire later.

Your link doesn't show the price of the 7790. Check out the build I made. It'll save you money and run at higher settings.
