Going to be gaming a lot hoping this build will play atleast on high 60fps on bf4, high or ultra on wow with good fps, and a lot of other games as well. I already bought the Corsair Spec-01 case a month ago, that's why it is not on the list. Let me know what you guys think and if i should change anything thanks! :D

Its a stronger gpu. The r9 280 is comparable to the gtx 760 while the gx 770 is comparable to the r9 280x.

Here is a CPU comparison of an i3 4330 vs fx 8350

+1 for that solid strong build :D
but if you still have extra bucks, you could consider this http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-video-card-r9280atdbd
its an XFX Radeon R9 280 3GB Black Edition Double Dissipation Video Card, just the same as your picked video card but has a 1.0Ghz Core Clock.
its a 15% difference from Sapphire Radeon R9 280 3GB Dual-X Video Card which is 850MHz. it would definitely increase your fps considerably.
But still, your build is solid and very nice :)

Less money toward the CPU and more toward the gpu.

The 8320 is the better CPU, but the i3 and 770 combo will get you better overall fps because you won't hit the limit of the i3 with the 770.

Basically
8320>i3
770>r9 280
i3+770>8320+r9 280
because the gpu is more important in gaming than the CPU although both are important.
