Cheaper.
Much better ram kit. 2133/cl9
Highest quality PSU for less money. XFX tier 1 unit, instead of poor quality Corsair CX600, tier 3 unit.
PSU tier list : http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html
Better GPU. r9 280 over r7 370.
You can boost it even more - to FX 8320 + decent 120gb ssd , for 700$.

Here you go, better CPU, better GPU, better quality PSU

If you can afford it, Amazon has killer deal on 120gb Samsung EVO for $57 right now, if you can afford to add that - BUY IT RIGHT NOW.

EDITED: Original build had PSU that is now out of stock due to good sale.
Revised with XFX PSU:

A: he needs a case i'm pretty sure.

B: i'm pretty sure thats over his budget without the SSD, I realised by looking back at his original and saw that mine was a bit over budget to so heres what I would recommend for less.

The PSU was on sale on Newegg for $50 but they either pulled the sale or was now out of stock.

I revised the build.

Case was not include because the one he listed in his build did not have price so I assumed he was either getting it special from somewhere or already had it.


ADDED:
Build came in within a dollar of the same cost before rebates of OP's build.
