Looks okay. I usually go for either Corsair, Kingston or G.Skill memory, so maybe change that, an SSD is huge as well. Frame rates

Just to add to the fellas above, the GTX660 is in the same price range and offers similar performance and sometimes better performance depending on the game. Here is a bench of the GTX660 vs HD7880, the 660 might play th games you want at a better fps and save you some money as well : http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/548?vs=660

Next yearr all kinds of new shit will be out and that stuff won't be as much.
