Don't you think the Cpu is too weak and the motherboard is a bit expensive? I mean wouldn't it be better if I got a stronger cpu and a bit cheaper motherboard than the one you included?

This is what I came up with:
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks

CPU: AMD FX-8320 3.5GHz 8-Core Processor ($149.29 @ Amazon)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P ATX AM3+ Motherboard ($84.99 @ Amazon)
Video Card: Sapphire Radeon R9 280X 3GB Dual-X Video Card ($299.99 @ Amazon)
Total: $534.27
(Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available.)

The CPU is OCable, It can go head on against a 4770 and still beat it in most games.
