Get rid of the CPU and change it to an FX-6300 along with an AM3+ motherboard

Simply put, APUs aren't worth it, especially if you're getting a dedicated GPU.

If budget permits, get a 8320 and a 990FX motherboard. If not, a 6300 and 970 board.

I would also look into getting XFX 550W PSU instead; higher quality PSU.

yes i had my doubts about the processor, its already coming to around 1200 dollars, but im buying it from the ibuypower website and it seems expensive, does anyone know where i can buy on a different website? thanks for the answers, if i was to change the processor, motherboard and power supply how much more would that cost?
