Looks pretty good, good buys on nVidia cards these days, the 770, 780, 970 all would be nice steps up and others also higher priced like the 780TI or 980
Actually, if you replace the 6300 with an 8350 you would be in pretty fair shape until you could afford a better GPU card if gaming is your main goal. In my opinion, with a good graphics card the 8350 is still completely relevant as a performer, especially if you overclock it up to say about 4.5Ghz, but even at stock clocks it performs well with just about any GPU card you care to throw at it. And the Sabertooth board is still one of the best available. If fact, I'm running that exact motherboard with an 8320 overclocked to 4.5Ghz and 16GB of Ram and I can run pretty much anything I want. Sure, some of the Intel CPUs kill the FX lineup on paper and on benchmarks but in real world use the difference may not even be noticeable to most people if you've got a really good card.
