It's good but there's a couple things is change.
1) Change CPU to a fx 6300, you can easily oc the 6300 to 6350 speeds. If you're not OCing get rid of the cooler.
2) Consider a better mobo, the gigabyte 970a ud3p, best 970 mobo out there IMO, even better than some 990fx mobos.
3) Change your GPU, you should be getting a gtx 760 or a r9 280 instead
4) Your RAM. Aim for dual channel so either 2x8 or 2x16, you could go 3x4 but... meh
Anyways other than that it's good but, I'd suggest making the changes I listed.

Here's my suggestion: This is a decent build that you could consider if you want to go with an overclocking build. It's around the same performance as an i5 build, but sacrifices on the single theaded performance for multithreaded performance. If you're not just gaming, but are going to be video editing/3d rendering/heavier photoshipping and what not, then this build would do slightly better.

Intel:

Stronger CPU for gaming. If you're just gaming, this build would do better than the AMD one.

I would personally shy away from the AMD FX processor since they have shifted their focus to APUs and do not have any clear plans to upgrade their FX line on their current road map. If you go with a Haswell CPU and a Z97 Mobo you will have the option of upgrading to the forth-coming Broadwell in the future. It might not be something that you are planning on doing now, but in my book having options in the future is better than dumping a boat-load of cash into a dead-end.

Upgrade paths are meaningless. If you're buying a PC, you're most likely going to keep that system until you're ready for a full system upgrade. As long as the PCIe slot is compatible with future upgrades and you have a good PSU, you'll have plenty of upgrade-ability in your system.
