A More Budget-Friendly Build Than My First

I just ended up having to dump a large portion of the money I was saving for my high-end build into repairs for my car.

 

I have toned down my original build to a more budget-friendly build, and was wondering if it would still have the 'balls' to compete with the current games out there, as well as maintain some longevity before having to upgrade again.

 

Let me know your thoughts, and thanks in advance!

(Btw, as I mentioned in a previous post, I do listen to a lot of music and watch a lot of movies, so good sound is quite important to me. The added sound card is a 'must-have,' as well as a preference, over the 120gb ssd.)
