AMD ewwwww. If you plan to play Arma 3 and other CPU intenstive games AMD is not the way to go. I'd recommend Intel. An i5 4690k is around your price range.

Thanks for the suggestion. Although I've already bought these parts but I've yet to build the whole thing. Seems like I should've asked first

It does kind of dilute the value of advice if the advice can't possibly used to make any changes!

I know I was stupid I just wanted to know if this build is any good?

It's OK. Not great, not terrible. I wouldn't go with an AMD build at this price level or use scenario in 2016, but the motherboard is fine. A VS is not a Corsair I'd personally use. The GPU is a solid high mid-end choice.
