So I'm new to gaming on a pc (long time consel player) and fairly new to building a computer. I bought a prebuilt pc from cyberpowerpc.com, its a basic build i believe nothing fancy. It came with a Gigabyte 78lmt-usb3 motherboard with 8g of ram, amd fx 4300 cpu 3.8ghz (not sure if thats overclocked or not) 480w psu and little R2 200 gpu. I plan on upgrading this however and want to know if it will be a decent build to run some games on 1080p if not better or ultra settings. Things I'm wanting to do is first swap out the gpu for a GTX 760, corsair 750w for the psu and up the ram to atleast 16g (most likely never use that much but always good to have I assume). Then replace the cpu fan with a evo 212. I want to upgrade to a r9 390 in the future and also the cpu to maybe a fx 8350 but that will come in due time. So my question again is with what I want to add to my computer will it be a decent machine to run games at ultra settings?
Need some advice please.

I'm definitely going change out the psu, that is one of the first things im going to do. Would a fx 8350 cpu be a good addition? Or would it be more pratical to spend a little less and get a fx 6300. I want try and stay away intel i5,i7 and such mainly because they are so expensive. Maybe in time though.
Are you multitasking a lot, or doing video editing? If not, then 2 or 4 more cores will not really help you. There is a motto that goes spend as much on the gpu, then spend the rest on the other parts.

Multitasking maybe a little bit not too much, as far video editing no. Im not planning on doing that anytime soon. I was mainly concerned with the cpu because I want to eventually want to upgrade my gpu to a R9 390 but do not want my cpu to bottleneck it. At the moment though I think im going to go with a GTX 750 ti ftw. Just untill i can afford to put together a strong pc.
