Are these specs good for a decent gaming PC of this price?

[AutumnWhite]

I'm looking to build a solely gaming PC over the next month, have shopped around and decided that this is the best build I can go for with what I'm willing to spend, any thoughts or feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Intel Core i5-3570K Ivy Bridge 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 77W Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 4000 BX80637I53570K

Nvidia GeForce GTX 770

Aerocool Xpredator X1 Black Edition

Corsair Builder Series CXM 600W Modular 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX/EPS PSU

This is OK, but if you want ultimate gaming power and perfomance, then upgrade these items:

Processor: Intel® Core™ i7-4790S Processor (8M Cache, up to 4.00 GHz)

Graphic Card: Nvidia GeForce GTX Titan

Your HDD: Use an SSD for much better performance, efficiency, and less noise. Here are a few:
Samsung 840 EVO 1TB 2.5 inch SSD

The Crucial M550 Series SSD(range from 128 GB-1 TB)

Intel® Solid-State Drive DC S3500 Series(range from 80 GB to 800GB)

WD Black² (Mobile 2.5-inch Dual Drives (120 GB SSD + 1 TB HDD ~ 2in1))

All other specs are good.

The i7 and i5 have the same gaming performance, the i7 has hyper-threading which is used in video editing programs. The Titan is uneccesary, he is gaming, not 3d molecular modeling.
