is this an good $800 build? opinions?

Solution
Yes and no. Yes, you can drop a more powerful graphics card someday in it and it will be fine. The graphics card is what matters most for gaming.

As far as cpu, cpu upgrades are limited. This will always be the case because new cpu's release with new socket sets, usually. The performance difference between the i5-4460 and say and i7-4790k is not that much in most games. Most games being released use the graphics card more than the cpu.

The asus motherboard supports 4 ram slots, and 2 graphics cards (AMD). Which is good for possible upgrades. Actually the z87 Asus board supports overclocking so a K processor later is a possibility.

Gives you some idea how little...
Overclocking CPU, non-overclocking motherboard. I see that is a custom priced part, you can save a little by getting something like an i5-4460, and you then don't need the CPU cooler. Or you need to get a Z97 chipset board to maximize the potential of that CPU.

R9-280X is a little faster, but it is an older card and uses much more power then the GTX960. If you want performance, get the R9-280X.
 
I think you might want to change to a z97 board if you plan to overclock or get a non K series CPU if you plan not to overclock.

The R9 280x is a stronger card, but the 960 is more energy efficient.

The SPEC-01 i used before, case is OK but a little small so make sure you plan ahead in terms of cable management and when you build it in general.

Better video card, better PSU (You had a tier 4 PSU picked), and added a Samsung 850 Evo SSD. Slightly worse CPU, but this is worth it. Check the build I linked below, cheaper motherboard.

Here is PSU tier list.

Gives you some idea how little cpu speeds matter for the most part.
