It looks good, one quick thing. It looks as if it's almost a $700 build so maybe change the title?

I recommend all of those parts except for the power supply. It's great, but I think XFX has a similar one for less.

I would suggest upgrading to a 4690k for only $50 more, it will last WAY longer and you can overclock. That PSU can't be trusted dude.

You should just suck it up and spend more on a premium PSU.

Might want to pick a i5 4460 since it retails for the same price!

If your budget is $685 and you don't need an SSD, you can get this:

If you include rebates it gets even cheaper.

 

The problems with your build is that the CPU selection is sub-optimal (the i5-4460 is cheaper and better), the CPU is locked so the stock cooler is fine, you can find a better deal on a motherboard and memory, and you can get a better yet cheaper PSU. This leaves enough room for a better GPU. Basically all the components in my build are better.

I dont understand why you would get 4440 when you can get 4460 instead.

Seasonic is the best PSU company to buy from only thing is that XFX offer cheaper Seasonic rebrands at a cheaper price so there's a better option but it's premium end quality
