I would go a little different way, this would be a good looking PC blue color scheme, back plate on the video card, 7 year warranty on the power supply still enough power to SLI in the future, 5 year warranty on the hard drive, good case with better air flow, same price.
Combo on the processor and motherboard parts picker don't offer. $83 off right now. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.1930376
The rest from parts picker. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/zzJ2zy
As above AMD just don't have the gaming performance overall.
