I have been looking to build a good budget gaming rig, for about $500 for the past few months. I am only a teenager and this is the money I have saved, so I can't really go any higher. I have been looking to play games like battlefield 4, Day Z, Arma III, and Watch Dogs. I may even, please do not laugh or call this overkill ;)  play Minecraft with Sonic Ethers or regular and record. I am just looking to play the demanding games on high at 30+ FPS, and I wanted to know if this is a good build for the money. (http://pcpartpicker.com/user/raysfan98/saved/NqKscf) I am looking to buy the parts around Black Friday and Cyber Monday, so I should get some pretty sweet deals! ^_^ I would also be doing school work as I am a Sophomore in High School, so I would think this would have no problem handling many browser tabs and MULTIPLE Webpages RIGHT?
-Any suggestions are welcome, Thanks in advance! :)

Nice build, It'll do what you want. If you can, get the AMD FX 8320 for a few bucks more
