Get a Seagate Barracuda over the Caviar Blue HDD, should be about the same price. And i5-4670K and ASRock Fatal1ty Killer Z87?

The barracuda is about $6 more expensive than the WD, also the i5 4670k and the motherboard is about $479 leaving $300 to spend on GPU

It's a bit out of budget, but I would recommend this http://www.mwave.com.au/product/gigabyte-amd-radeon-r9-280x-3gb-overclocked-video-card-battlefield-4-version-ab53001

If I went with that, could i couple it to an amd fx 6300/8320? with the cheapest AM3+ Motherborad?

You would want the 8320 and a 990fx motherboard
