You can easily put a stronger graphics card in there and also upgrade to a stronger CPU in the future:

Don't need a "Z" board if you're not overclocking and with that locked CPU you won't be. Fast RAM, SSD, better GPU and faster CPU. Motherboard will also work with future "Broadwell" CPU's

check it out


First,why a 3470 and a Z77 motherboard at this time? That would've been a good option maybe 2 years ago.
I wouldn't recommend the R9 285,as an R9 280 would be a great choice at a lower price.
Also,you don't have an SSD in your build,whereas mine has. ;)

It's over budget,but it's worth it.
Unfrtunately you can't get a GTX 970,but you can wait and get a GTX 960 with this build. :)

Hey Luca it might be closer to budget than you think, you've got 2 different sets of RAM on there ;)

Hehe.
Anyway,@OP I would really try and get those extra $30 to get the build I posted above.
It's really powerful and it's gonna last for at least two years.
It's power efficient,it's gonna be cool'n'quiet and I don't see a reason not to get it. :)
