Solution
get better motherboard: ASUS M5A97 R2.0 EVO or GIGABYTE GA-970A-UD3P
(more power phases and passive cooling on mosfets = better for overclocking your cpu)
look for better power supply: XFX core edition pro 550w for example
(better build quality and more or less the same price) ...

as for the graphics : amd 270x will do ...

The price for that system, and assuming the r9 270x, can get you an i5 system + r9 280 if you want to put in an extra ~20$.

Better CPU and better GPU.

Otherwise, I'd suggest getting an r9 270 from sapphire or ASUS and overclock it to the 270x's speeds.
