I'll suggest a build based on Skylake so you can have the chipset benefits of it (although somewhat over your budget):

Not the 960.. Definitely GTX 970+. If you're on a budget get the GTX 970. A lot of people have been able to get stable OC speeds on it that reach the 980.

I suggest an R9 380 4gb with that configuration, but for 1080p 60fps high on most titles I would get an R9 390 or gtx 970, or wait for a possible future R9 380X.
I looked at you part list and I would recommend you to change a few things:
PSU: Go for EVGA SuperNova B2, G2 or GS (with 2) as it is higher quality or pick a good uality XFX PSU
If going AMD, I suggest nothing less than an Fx 8350 (or FX 8320) right now. Also you would need a better motherboard for that and also a good aftermarket cooler.
Storage: I'll change the Seagate with an WD10EZEX (1TB) as Segate consumer drives are known for high failure rates. Also add a 250gb SAmsung 850 Evo when you have the budget.

I would really try to save for this build and maybe get an R9 380 4gb instead.
You can get this build with no gpu and then save for an R9 380 4Gb.

Otherwise, here's an AMD option ():

P.S. I included such a CPU cooler so you can overclock with no problem. You can get a cheaper one IF you don't.

I would go with the 960. I have one, can run all games that I have at 60+ on high/ultra (h1z1, far cry 3, watch dogs). I have the 4gb one, you would be fine with the 2gb one but having those 2 extra gb of vram is useful for games like gta 5.
