This is going to be my first build so I'm just a petty noob at this stuff.
I'm from Australia and doing a budget-orientated build.
My budget is $1100 ($1030 USD)
This PC will be used for gaming, although not hardcore.
Aiming to get at least 40fps on Battlefield 4.
Attempting to overclock the CPU past 4.5 GHz
I would just like to know if I've made the right decision with the following parts:

CPU: AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor
Cooling: Noctua NH-U12S
Motherboard: Asus M5A97 R2.0 ATX AM3+ Motherboard
RAM: G.Skill Ares Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB
GPU: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 750 ti
Case: BitFenix Shinobi Window ATX Mid Tower Case
PSU: Corsair CX 500W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply
OS: Windows 8

Just let me know if there are any possible improvements to be made :)

I provided someone else with a 900$ USD build, but without the SSD.
Let me know what would be the total price of these parts for you. Sorry but I`m at work, and I don`t have the time right now.

well you have a decent build but as for improvements there are always space for it if u can.......like adding a 128 gb ssd for primary drive and making the hdd as storage drive.....plus the gtx 750ti is a decent card but not worth the price well i will say if u have not bought it already u can get the r9 270 its better than the gtx 750ti and gtx 660 and is almost the same price of the gtx 750 ti ......http://www.amazon.com/Sapphire-Version-PCI-Express-Graphics-11220-00-20G/dp/B00I0D81OG/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1407318407&sr=8-3&keywords=r9+270\

I removed the SSD, because that can be added later on with no problems.
I`d rather add the SSD later, than skimp on the CPU and GPU.
