I want to get some feed back on if this is a good build. Thanks.

Yes, very good and well-picked! You maybe should buy a couple additional case fans if possible. Front and bottom = intake top and rear = exhaust

Not bad, but I would get the 4690k instead and a better z97 motherboard, and a better PSU(cx uses cheap capacitors). You can also get some faster ram for a bit cheaper.

Replace the cpu with an i5 4690k - newer, better and cheaper

and the mobo with an Asus Z97-A - better

and the PSU with Seasonic M12II 620 - $70 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151095
