That looks pretty decent - the only thing is the Intel on board video is not meant to be a substitute for a dedicated graphics card. And then there's the AMD APUs which have great on board video but poor CPU performance. The Antec 900 is quite a bit old now and has no cable management.

Maybe try something like this:

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks

CPU: Intel Core i5-3350P 3.1GHz Quad-Core Processor ($179.99 @ Newegg)
Motherboard: ASRock H77 Pro4/MVP ATX LGA1155 Motherboard ($82.55 @ Newegg)
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($66.99 @ Newegg)
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5"...

If you don't plan on overclocking, than drop the 3570k and get the 3470 or the 3570 non k. It will save you a few bucks. If you do plan on overclocking, then get an aftermarket cooler like the Cooler Master Hyper 212+. I don't find anything wrong with your motherboard, but you may be able to get a little bit cheaper if you want.

Other than that, solid build.
