Looks like a good setup, however I prefer Intel to AMD. Intel has significantly better performance per core than the AMD CPU.

Also a tip, look for a "supercombo" on Newegg.W hen purchasing my new rig, I found all of the parts I wanted conveniently bundled into a package with a $30-50 savings.

Swap out a lot of the parts for better.

Basically, the Haswell chip is faster and not a K chip meaning you can go with a cheaper board. In any rig, there is no point in having RAM faster than 1600. The Seasonic PSU is not only better but 10 bucks cheaper. And since you want a gaming rig, the GTX 760 is only 10 bucks more but a faster card than the 7950.
