Nice build?

So, I was watching E3, and while I was watching all the games and their graphics, my Intel graphics card had a heart attack, so I decided that I should buy a new build
I am planning to build this one, this is basically the maximum budget I got, is it good? will it be able to run GTA 5 and AC Unity?
Here it is
Intel® Core™ i5-3570K Ivy Bridge 3.4GHz 6MB Cache Desktop Processor

Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H Socket 1155 Motherboard

G.skill Ares Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1600 CL9 1.50v Dual Channel Memory Kit

Western Digital (WD) Caviar BLUE WD10EZEX 1TB SATA 6Gb/s 7200 RPM 64MB Cache HDD

SAPPHIRE VAPOR-X HD 7950 3GB GDDR5 OC with Boost + Bioshock Infinite + Crysis 3 + FC3 + SD + Hitman

Cooler Master K380 Mid Tower Desktop Case

SeaSonic S12II Bronze 520W 80 PLUS Certified PSU

Yes a 7950 will run them just fine, however try getting a 280x instead since it's on par with a 7970(I believe) and it's cheaper. Also get at least a 600w PSU.

The 280x IS a 7970. Exact same gpu inside.

Well that's what I meant...

Alright guys, forget the main post, This is the real deal
I found one that exactly maximizes my budget, so basically, I will have no cash left after building this
Intel Core i5 4670K
GIGABYTE GA-B75M-D3H / LGA 1155 / Intel B75
Kingston 8GB / DDR3 / 1600MHz / Desktop
Western Digital / 1TB / Blue
SAPPHIRE HD7950 / 3GB / OC / DDR5
Cooler Master K-380 Black
Corsair VS Series VS650 / 650W

Is it good? will it run AC Unity and GTA 5 on high? Also, THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION
Am I missing something? is there anything at all I forgot for the build?
And will the parts fit in the motherboard?
Thanks a lot guys @Aborted @Color @Doc

Why would you get a 7950? They're like $300, get a r9 280x it's better than a 7950 and it's cheaper($160!) http://www.ebay.com/itm/Video-Card-M...item2c85016feb

Ok, thanks for the advice, I will get that instead, any more recommendations? did I miss anything at all? will they all fit? and what graphics do you think they will run AC Unity, GTA 5, Crysis 3 on?

All should run well on high(iffy on crysis 3) and if you have a long case (left to right side panel) then yes the card will fit.

Well since you saved a good amount of money try getting a water cooler for your CPU, I recommend: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835181032 .

Wow that's pretty overkill. And that would barely fit in the K380. Trust me, I've tried, the case is so bad for cable management that you have to run the 4/8-pin CPU cable either through the GPU on the left hand side or go around the back and exit the far right hole and over to the left, making a radiator an extremely tight fit.

Oh sorry I didn't even see you posted your case @HeroicXPharaoh the card's dimensions are: 10.6" x 5.04" x 1.34" . And your case is 8.2 x 17.5 x 18.8 inch so yes it will fit very well.
