I'd get a 4690k and an SSD.

 

it looks good though.

Swap out the WD hard drive with a Seagate HDD. You can get a 1TB barracuda for a little less money, and they are just as fast (sometimes faster).

 

I was able to get 200MB/s transferring a 6GB file from my 120GB EVO to mine, whereas my WD Blue was "only" able to manage a mere 178MB/s.

 

EDIT: And get a 4690K.

i5-4690K? Not that it really matters as both of those are pretty much the same CPU..

 

I might suggest a bigger PSU. That system should theoretically work on 500 watts, but it might be cutting it a bit closer than I'd like. 

[LukaP]

get rid of the windows (run linux or some alternative yarr ) and get an ssd or a better case

Get a different case... you will commit suicide when building in that one.

Get the 4690K, that's an updated version, and get a Hyper 212 EVO.
