Gigabyte g1.sniper m5
8gb corsair vengeance LP green ram
EVGA GTX 970 SC
be quiet! dark rock 3
EVGA 750w semi-modular power supply 
2tb Seagate Barracuda
250gb Samsung 840 evo

All inside a NZXT H440 green/black

All tips are greatly appreciated and cheaper options are a plus!

Looks fine. The matx motherboard in a mid tower might look awkward though.

Maybe go up to a 4690k ? with a z97 board?

The new z97 sniper board isn't green.

If you have the extra cash later on ( or right now ), you should consider sleeving your cables. For your build I'd recommend something like dark grey and black cables with green highlights here and there. Also if you plan to add LED's to this build I'd recommend white over a green because it will make your green highlights pop and look more colourful. Hope this helps.
