I think you should change your CPU to ATLEAST FX 6300/ i3 4130. An i5 would be better. 800watt PSU? That seems overkill.

I would recommend that you get a different CPU. The FX 4300 isn't very good. I'd go for either an intel core i3 or an AMD FX 6300.

Honestly you will get more for your money if you buy the parts yourself and assemble it. If that's not an option then I'll hop over to Cyberpower and configure something better for the money.

Intel build - $791 - http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/saved/1G78BT (Core i3 + R9 280)
AMD build - $803 - http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/saved/1G78C4 (FX 6300 + R9 280)

These two builds are almost exactly the same, and will perform very similarly (The Intel one may have the edge). CPU/Mobo is all that's different, plus the AMD one has the entry level AIO liquid cooler. Drop that cooler to the AMD one if you don't care about overclocking.

Let me know if the links don't work. Also, I'd drop the CD drive too and save a few bucks, unless you think you need it.
