Thanks for the help everyone.
I'd change the Asus card with this one

No real change in performance and costs less. With the extra money you could get a Hyper 212 Evo, but I know from experience that it's rather hard to fit in the Source 210.

No need for the cooler.
IMO, yes. The CPU is pretty "meh" but it's decent at 3.2GHz. However, one quarrel I do have is the PSU. I'd try and strive for 800W+, as your GPU will absorb the majority of your power.
I run a 650Ti Boost for example and that takes up a LOT of power, in addition to my quad-core however so...
Conclusion: Upgrade the PSU.

Uh, that GPU is made to use barely any power. You could go with a 430 Watt PSU and be absolutely fine.
I would change the GPU out for an r7 265.

Yeah, I just looked and it only takes 60W.

How is this?
Alright, I upgraded the PSU to a 70 dollar 800W bringing the build to 460, which is fine.
The CPU I chose is pretty good from what I hear. Even though 3.2GHz. doesn't sound like a lot, it is, and apparently it is overclockable to 4.7GHz. and it beats the AMD 860x.
