Every year my company has an annual food drive called the Hunger Games. Where we have competitions within our production unites to see who can raise the most money. The company will match donated money and then give it to the food bank. For this year I am going to build a computer to be raffled off. 

 

The intended audience is wide from web browsing to engineers.  Budget $1800 US

 

This is the Build so far. I am trying to do a blue with red accents theme to match the company colors.

 

Case: Thermaltake Chaser A31 Blue
Mother Board: MSI Z97s sli Plus
CPU: Intel i5-4690
Memory: Hyper X Fury Red 2x4 GB
Storage: Corsair Force 240 GB and WD Black 2 TB
Optical: Asus Blue-ray
Graphics Card: EVGA 770
Power Supply: Corsair RM 650W with Blue Cabling
CPU Cooler: Corsair H75

 

I am looking for advise on if the is the best build and if there are any suggestions on how I could improve it.

 

Thanks
