Hello, everyone! This is my first build, so I am looking for feedback on this build, any possible upgrades, downgrades, etc. I wanna stick with the i5 4460 CPU, but if you wanna try and make any tweaks, feel free to reply to me! Is this a good first build?

P.S: My budget is $1000 AUD, so, yeah, thanks!
