Bleh. Look at something like this

NZXT Source 210
Intel Pentium G3258 OCD to 4.2
MSI H81M-P33
Crucial Ballistix Sport 8gb
MSI R9 270 GAMING EDITION
WD10ZEX
Antec VP-450
Windows 8.1

This is literally 600 bucks.

The FX-6300 only has 3 real cores with basically hyper-threading on it so it has 6 cores.

you would get better performance from something well rounded like the build above

A 270 does not beat a 760. A G3258 does not beat a 6300. That computer you designed will be destroyed by modern titles.

That being said, the FX-6300 and GTX 760 build is solid as a rock. Although, if you wanted, you could put a 990FX board in there and get a bit more overclocking potential.
