I'm building my first PC and I have decided on most of the parts but I need some help. So far I have decided on these parts:

Case: Bitfenix Prodigy White
CPU: i5 4670k
GPU: R9-290 Sapphire Tri-x
Motherboard: ASrock Z87E Mini ITX
PSU: Seasonic G-550 550W
Hard Drive: WD Black 1TB
Ram: G.Skill Ripjaws 1x8gb

If you can see anything wrong please say. Also I'm not sure what CPU cooler, what do you suggest? I live in New Zealand and everything is really expensive, atm I'm looking at a Corsair H60. Thanks

You are at the minimum wattage for your PSU. With the prices approximately the same, I would boost the wattage a bit (650 - 750). The R9-290 Sapphire Tri-x isn't known for it's power efficiency.

I like Noctua CPU coolers. The NH-D14 is great.

I would add a SSD for your OS & programs.
