You're using an HD5450 to run games at 1080p?! :shock: +1 to what [MENTION=271931]adityak469[/MENTION] has suggested.
Alternatively, you may want to take a look at these intel components -
Intel Core i3 - 4150 - 7k
Gigabyte H81m - 3.2k
Kingston HyperX Fury 4GBx2 - 5k

The i3-4150 still has the upper hand in most games. Intel's are always substantially more efficient per core than any AMD processors out there. With hyperthreading, games which require more than 2 cores also run flawlessly. Case in point - FIFA 15

December is a long time away. You would probably get a GTX 750TI / GTX 750 or an AMD R9 -270 / R7 - 265 in that budget once the new gen GPU's from AMD arrive.

No GPU is good enough for the 7k budget. Get GTX 750 Ti minimum. And for that later, GTX 950/950Ti would be there and it'll be better to get it.
