  • I would replace that i7 by an i5 (4690k). The only difference (mostly) is hyper threading, which games don't use. That would save you a good 100$.
  • You could upgrade the GPU to a GTX 970, which you crush the 770. The 970, at 330$, performs like a 780-780ti which cost 600-650$.
  • 219$ is in the higher end for a motherboard. I would personnally take something a little bit cheaper. At 80-100$ you can get a reputable brand with all the features you'll need.
So all in all that would be 150$+ cheaper and way more powerfull (gaming wise).
