How does my PC build look?

Honestly... You should just get rid of the SSD at this budget. Use that money to improve on different parts of the system... It doesn't affect gaming performance. it mostly affects loading speeds. You'll notice huge improvement in windows loading and games loading (if you put any on there...).

Get a i5 4460 and H97 motherboard. It'll be cheaper overall.

Get a PSU for the system, unless you have a decent one already.

Get a cheaper case, budget purposes. Money better spent else where. What's the point of having a nice looking system when it doesn't perform that well.. Performance over aesthetics. You could always pick up a case you like later on when you have more money anyways.

I would change Phanteks PH-TC12DX_BK 68.5 CFM CPU Cooler with Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO to save some money because cpu is not k version so you won't be overclocking it and hyper 212 evo will keep the cpu on low temperatures for sure :)

rest is fine but I don't see your PSU on the list

Remove the CPU cooler as you can't overclock your CPU as it is locked and the stock cooler will be fine.

Change the SSD to a Samsung Evo as you said you want better ones however this will cost a bit more.

If it for gaming, don't get Nvidia 650 or 750 and below as there are not really designed to perform well in games. I recommend a 660 or 760 if you are on a budget.
