How is this Gaming Rig?

Solution
Not bad at all, but as patrick said, I would upgrade the GPU because that is the most valuable component for gaming in any gaming machine. If you're strapped for money and already at the limits of your budget, I would think about dropping down a tier on your CPU and using that to get a better GPU, simply because while a good CPU helps grant good performance in games, it is much better (for most games, ARMA series excluded) to have a more powerful GPU than CPU.

upgrade gpu except r9 280 is roughly the same performance wise as gtx 760. Go for a 770 if you see one on sale for less than $320 or a r9 280x for $280. Also where's the SSD?!?!?!?
