I was wondering if this build was any good. I'm not that good with this kind of stuff so any help would be much appreciated.

INTEL CORE I5-4430 3.0G 6MB LGA1150 (turbo 3.2Ghz)
Gigabyte GA-Z87P-D3 LGA 1150 DDR3 SATA6 USB3 ATX
G.Skill Ripjaws X Performance 8GB DDR3 1600MHz
1000GB SATAII 7200rpm

Total price: 850 €
 
Solution
The GPU is a bit weak and the motherboard is not suited to the CPU. Get an i5 4460 and an h97 motherboard.

For the GPU I recommend an r9 270x or better.

You have no PSU listed.
Very reasonable.

Pick only a quality psu of 500-650w.

I will never again build without a ssd for the "C" drive. It makes everything you do much quicker.
120gb is minimum, it will hold the os and a handful of games. If you can go 240gb, you may never need a hard drive.
I don't.
I would defer on the hard drive unless you need to store large files such as video's.
It is easy to add a hard drive later.
Samsung EVO is a good choice
