Building a pc, first time build. Help

Wanting some people that know what they are doing to look over this build. Not really sure what is good to have and what isn't. My questions are really on the PSU if it is adequate and if my graphics card is worth it or should I look into another one. Any other advice is helpful.

Went for the Z97 chipset so I can eventually upgrade the processor and OC.

Thank you

Don't worry too much about overclocking. The r9 280 is a great choice btw

It's roughly the same price before rebates, and only slightly more after rebates but it has a 250gb SSD + 1tb HDD in there
