No. That would be a horrible purchase. The GTX 650 is an older GPU and it's low end. An i7 is going to beat the FX-8320. Failing that, an i5 or Pentium G3258 would be a better option since they have better upgradeability options. Do you need 16GB RAM? What will you be using the PC for? 8GB RAM is sufficient for gaming. 16GB would only be needed if you plan on doing a lot of editing/rendering.
If you plan on editing/rendering, get this;

$903 and it has a better CPU and GPU than the build in your OT. 16GB RAM will be beneficial for editing/rendering. 60GB SSD for your OS. 1TB HDD for storage. The R9 280 will do well in games as well so you can still game with this build.
However, if you just plan on gaming, get this;

The Pentium is a fantastic CPU and will be fine for gaming. The GTX 780 is a fantastic GPU. A larger SSD, better case and 8GB RAM which for gaming, is absolutely fine.
