here is alot that might consider. first of all, dont go amd, amd's processors are super outdated and they are only decent if you oc much which you cant with that cooler. however amd's gpu's are really worth the price. then that headset isnt worth the money, either you save up some more money for a better headset or buy something on ebay, you can get something really cheap on ebay

here you go, you get the standard gaming headset. then you get a ssd, however the cpu is a bit weaker but this cpu is the pentium anniversary edition, you can often clock these to around 4.6 ghz and thats why i got the cooler.Clocked this cpu will run every title but its weaker than the amd one, but there is a benefit, the mother board supports both haswell,haswell refresh and in the future the broadwell(next gen intel cpu).the psu is a prev gen gold psu which is nice for the price.
this is a more up to date computer with better upgradabillity(dont know how to spell that

I personally would go intel for cpu

why a pentuim.. i would think there would be a major bottleneck right there with that cpu and gpu

if you can overclock its a good damn value and as i said it will make due untill you have enough money to buy broadwell or something like that, look at the benches @4.34

and no it will not bottleneck if you oc
edit one: i changed the cooler to a cheaper one(since it doesnt output so much heat i dont need the h80i)

Here is a decent build, but it relies on you having a HDD for most of the storage http://pcpartpicker.com/user/legibryn/saved/sXfv6h
Here is also a version of your build with the only AMD i would go with now. http://pcpartpicker.com/user/legibryn/saved/shK2FT sadly no SSD but you can save for that later and prices are coming down nicely.
