Thats an ok build. I wouldn't suggest going for the micro ATX motherboard though.

Take a look at this build: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/KRbLbv

I replaced the motherboard and GPU. For £30 more it's worth it. And I will suggest investing in a SSD for your operating system.

You have some flaws in your build like the motherboard is not compatible with the CPu without a BIOS upgrade so i have changed that improved the GPU and PSU to make it a better build than befor hope you like it.

Ranfty :

Z87 motherboard doesn't support the i5 4690k out of the box .

This; I think you need to upgrade the BIOS beforehand.

so the MSI Z97-Gaming 3 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard will work with my Intel Core i5-4690K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor?

I ordered the Z87M mobo by mistake and i will return it for the Z97
