You don't really need a Z97 board, but other than that, I'd only recommend getting a SSD, and maybe upgrade the video card, depending on what games you play, and at what resolution.

Only thing i would change is to switch to a i5 4460 (refresh of 4440) which is only 10$ more.

 

Edit: oh yeah and a H97 board since the cpu is locked anyways.

looks like a great mini itx build. that gpu seems a bit pricey you could get http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-video-card-gvn760wf2oc2gd if you have 60 or so bucks laying around you could throw in an ssdlaying

R9 280 is a bit better value

Thanks guys! I really do appreciate the help. I think I will go with the i5- 4460 and add an SSD to the build.
