Please help me decide on my final component list.
I'm pretty much a newbie... but after a considerable amount of research I've come up with this:

Basically I need any advice that I can get from experienced builders as to whether the list above meshes well together and is it good bang-for-buck?
Does it provide a measure of future proofing at all?
Please feel free to give alternative suggestions, looking forward to getting your input =]
Edit: I can't decide wether to get a GTX760 or a R9 280... or which specific brand of the two. Please help @_@
