Cpu is good ram are enough but gtx650 is rather underpowered by todays standards ( though it should be enough to play modern games at medium settings at 30fps with the exception of few like Witcher 3 which i doubt it will be able to play in anything other than low ) . The entry level gpus i suggest getting are 7850, 650ti boost or gtx 660 , r7 260x, 750ti. Any of those is sgnifically faster without costing that much more ( you will find most of those around $100-130 )

+1.

In two days also Nvidia is releasing GTX950 which will be more powerful even than GTX660 around $150. It will be a good solution too.

Depends on which graphic settings you're aiming for.

CPU and RAM are good, you can upgrade the GPU if the graphic settings won't appeal to you, I can recommend on the R9 290 and the 980Ti - depends on your budget

You could also wait for the GTX950 as @Coseniath suggested before me.

Major EDIT: didn't mind your PSU at 1st glance, If you're really tight on budget get the 950 since it's won't force you to change the PSU, the 290 and the 980Ti that I've mentioned are in the top tier GPUs so you'll have to buy a new more powerful PSU as well.
