How much better of a build would this be? And is there anything that is overkill or I don't need that I could downgrade to pay less but get the same quality? Let me know please. This build would cost around $600, where as my current pc cost me about $600 4 years ago.

Instead of upgrading your entire PC going Intel, since you are just gaming you can get an 8320 or 8350 FX cpu, its 8 cores, and way better than the 4300. You can still get the GTX 960 for your new graphics card, and for you power supply you can use an XFX TS 550W (It's personally what I use), another good psu is EVGA's 500W bronze psu, its only around 30 dollars or so, and its a sturdy psu it's what I use in my second PC. It will save you money and you get a better bang for your buck. 8320 = 150, 960 (depending on brand I'm going to say evga, so 180 dollars) power supply = 30-50 dollars. All in all It'll be around 360-380 dollars.
