Hello everyone, this is my first thread so sorry in advance if I do anything wrong.

I am looking at building my 1st desktop PC but I am struggling to pick the components. I originally wanted it to be around the $500 mark but I've already gone over. This are the parts I've picked so far...

CPU:Intel Core i5-4460
GPU:NVIDIA GeForce 750ti
Storage: Western Digital Blue HDD
Ram:Corsair Vengeance Blue 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600MHz

So now all that's left is the case, power supply, optical drive & the motherboard(preferably a micro-atx sized board). I was wondering if you guys could help me pick these last few components and give me your opinions on this build? Thanks :)

The 270 is far better than the 750 Ti. Here is a comparison between the two:
