What do you guys think of this for a college build?

As for storage I already have a spare 1tb 840 evo so I already have that base covered. Any input would be great guys thanks :)

Why "K" series CPU and H97 board? Get Z97 instead or non-K CPU.

This.

Everything else works by me.

I won't be over clocking, I just clicked the first i5 that came up, I'm going to order the non 5 version. Trying to keep this build as cheap as possible so it doesn't break the bank.

A non-OC'd i5 is comparable in performance to the lowest end i3. Get yourself an i3 if yuo don't want to overclock. I know Austin Evans made a video comparing the i3 to the i5 and the performance difference was marginal.

You don't have any kind of storage? I'll would recommend a ssd and maybe a hdd for bigger or non importent files.

He said he had a TB SSD.
