I would say:

CPU: AMD FX-8350 (the 9590 overheats and requires watercooling)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 (the fxa is more up to date and still has am3+)
GPU: Either the 960 or the 760. There are some better things about the 760 that can outweigh the 960. >>http://gpuboss.com/gpus/GeForce-GTX-960-vs-GeForce-GTX-760

All else is good- consider getting the Cooler Master octane keyboard and mouse combo, and CM's cpu cooler - the hyper 212 evo.

No, that build is not good at all for the amount you're spending. The Intel i5 is a better gaming cpu and doesnt require a massive and expensive cooling solution. The PSU is not good and massive overkill. You could easily get a faster system for that kinda money.
