HAFS SUCK! Get an NZXT Source 210 elite or 220..OR corsair 200/300r. They're all nice.
Get windows for..free, and drop the SSD.
Upgrade to an Extreme 4 970 mobo.
AMD FX8350.
7950 GPU.
Would this be better than what i had earlier?

FX-8320 will save you $20, and I highly recommend an SSD, but go for an 830 series to save a bit of cash.
Don't waste your time with an ssd for a gaming rig with that budget. It will not yield any improvement in gaming performance besides loading time. Get an ssd for a later upgrade down the road
