A cpu with better per-core performance that can be overclocked through the roof. A upgrade path to a 4690k/4790k. much more storage (gta5 will take up a huge chunk out of the ssd and ssd's aren't good for budget builds because of their bad euro/gb compared to hdds). A cheaper gpu that will deliver the same results as the one you chose with a small overclock. All of this stuff comes at a cost of no keyboard and only 2 cpu cores. You could always drop the cpu cooler (the stock cooler is still decent for overclocking). A lot of games these days don't use more than 2 cores and play much better on intel chips.
