This is a much better system for the same price, at least for gaming. Far more upgradable too.
Just remember that the OS is another $90 above that price for both. You must buy a windows license or stick to linux

I would recommend getting a slightly more expensive PSU just to get a bronze rated one. The hard drive could be 1TB for about $10 more. Maybe look at getting the RX 470 which will be released this week, a $4GB version starts at $150 and should be more powerful than the R9 380. Everything else looks pretty good.

Your parts are all outdated and from last gen, I would recommend getting parts of the current generation Like in this build:

Its ~$20 over your budget, but this rig will perform signifigantly better in basically every task you throw at it, particularly gaming
It does cheap out on the case a little bit and the motherboard is nothing to write home about, but in a pc with this budget the extra performance is worth the subpar case if you ask me.

I would build using a more modern I3-6100,a lga 1151 motherboard, and ddr4 ram.
It should cost less and perform better.
I will never again build without a ssd for the "C" drive. It makes everything you do much quicker.
120gb is minimum, it will hold the os and a handful of games. If you can go 240gb, or 500gb you may never need a hard drive.
I would defer on the hard drive unless you need to store large files such as video's.
It is easy to add a hard drive later.
R9 cards are power hungry and 500w may not do it:

See if you can't manage a stronger GTX1060.
And... look for a tier 1 or 2 psu from a list such as this:

Seasonic is always good.
