Oh god.

1. Change that FX-8350 for an I5.

The FX-8350 is a worse gaming CPU than an intel I5. Make sure

Here are two solutions I'd recommend:

http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/intel-cpu-bx80637i53570k
http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/asrock-motherboard-z77performance

This costs less than your current FX-8350/motherboard combination and will vastly out-perform it, especially if you overclock. This Cooler costs less and is better than your current one:

2. Get one graphics card instead of those two.

With any two-card set-up, micro-stutter is a possible concern. When you have two, low-end cards in cross-fire, it's pretty much guaranteed. For less money, you can get this card, which will offer you better, more consistent performance.

http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/msi-video-card-n770lightning

Everything else seems pretty much OK though. You might wanna consider using some of the money you've saved for an SSD for faster boot times and greater system response.
