Thoughts on this build? Fairly new to building computers so if anything doesnt seem to fit with the other components or if you have any tweaks, let me know. Mainly, does the cpu, motherboard, and graphics card all make sense together? Thanks

CAS: NZXT Source 340 Mid-Tower Gaming Case w/ USB 3.0, Side-Panel Window
CPU: Intel® Core™ i5-4460 3.20 GHz 6MB Intel Smart Cache LGA1150
FAN: DeepCool GAMMAXX 400 CPU Air Cooler 4 Heatpipes 120MM
HDD: 1TB Western Digital Caviar Blue SATA-III 6.0Gb/s 7200 RPM HDD
KEYBOARD: AZZA Multimedia USB Gaming Keyboard
MEMORY: 8GB (4GBx2) DDR3/2133MHz Dual Channel Memory
MOTHERBOARD: ASRock H97M Anniversary m-ATX w/ GbLAN, 1 PCIe x16, 2 PCIe x1, 6x SATA 6Gb/s
MOUSE: AZZA Optical 1600dpi Gaming Mouse with Weight Adjustable Cartridge
OS: Windows 8.1
POWERSUPPLY: 750 Watts - EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G1 80 PLUS Gold Power Supply
VIDEO: AMD Radeon R9 380 4GB GDDR5 PCIe 3.0 x16 Video Card

Total: $838

Also would it be worth an extra $112 to upgrade to:
EVGA Superclocked ACX 2.0 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 4GB GDDR5 PCIe 3.0 x1

And is that power supply ok? I've heard that you need to be careful with which power supply you get.

Thanks

For up to 838$ this is the best you can get, those few $ left you can spend on a bit better CPU like i5 4590
