I'm doing my first budget build.

Processor: Intel Core i5-4570 3.2GHz
PSU: Corsair CX Series 500 Watt ATX/EPS Modular 80 PLUS Bronze
Optical Drive: Asus 24x DVD-RW Serial-ATA Internal OEM
Case: Corsair Carbide Series SPEC-02 Mid Tower Gaming Case
Mobo: ASRock H97M Micro ATX DDR3 1600 Socket 1150
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 960 Super Clocked 2GB GDDR5
HDD: WD Blue 1TB Desktop 3.5 Inch SATA 6Gb/s 7200rpm
Memory: Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB Kit (4GBx2) DDR3

Is there anything I should change?

power supply needs to change but other than that it seems ok.

If you drop to a cheaper i5 and mobo is there any chance you can squeeze in a gtx 970. Assuming this is a gaming build for 1080p

Did some balancing that should into result into you being able to get a much better PSU.
