Is this a good cost efficient performance/overclocking build?

I finally finished picking out computer parts, throughout the day trying about 20 different setups. I went from intel 4770k, seeing that was too strong, to 4670k, then finally to AMD. This computer will be for average use, not much gaming, but I still want it to be fast, reliable, and last a while. I might overclock it for a few programs.
Is this a good, cost efficient build that will run pretty fast and is overclockable?

Where is the GPU xD , the mb doesn't have onboard either so that builds not gonna work lol .

Since your not gonna be doing much hardcore gaming I'd recommend either the GTX 750 which has fantastic power consumption for its performance or the HD 7770 which is around $40 less compared to the 750 with obviously less performance. It all depends on what your doing though so if you don't mind spending more on the GPU then go for it.

If your limit is $700 (which it seems to be considering your PCParts list is $701 total) then don't overdo it on the CPU , get a 6300 instead or a haswell i3 if you want to upgrade in the future , the AM3+ socket may be dead.
