your build is great, although my friend has the i5-4460 with the same graphics card and, what im going to be mainly playing is dayz, he usually gets about 15-25 in cities and 25-30 in fields. and it only runs at 3.2 ghz while as the fx-8350 runs at 4.0 ghz, along with it having 8 cores, i tend too edit alot of videos for my friend, and i think more cores would benefit. but im probably wrong, as i have no professional knowledge of computers.

Well your knowledge shows because the intel i5 4 cores actually outmatch the 8core AMD its not about core ghz of core count its about arhitecture and how those cores are used Intel is way faster than AMD read http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-cpu-review-overclock,3106.html
as far as game DAYZ it is very poorly optimized game it runs bad on any hardware.
