Solution
Your build looks good, but the GPU is under-powered.
Also I don't think you should be comparing your rig to someone else's who's major strongpoint is video editing and rendering.

You should be comparing this to other gaming builds, and you should upgrade to the GTX 760 as soon as possible. (but the 750ti is a great card right now.)
