Would this be a good PC for what I want? any suggestions on how to make it better?

^ If you will be buying the CPU from Microcenter, then it is fine, else you can cut down a bit on the CPU and spend a bit more on the GPU instead.

PSU - Never skimp on the PSU quality. Atleast get this one.
CORSAIR Builder Series CX600 600W
$69.99
$49.99 after $20.00 rebate card
+ $10 off w/ promo code CLRNCMDNS37, ends 4/1
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139028

GPU - If possible, wait for few days, the GTX 650 Ti boost will be available soon and it performs as good as the 7850 or better in the same price range. Also you could expect a price of AMD cards.
Or like you said if no SLI/ Crossfire, then spend say about ~20-40$ more and get the GTX 660/ HD 7870.
