Change kingston V300 to other SSD.
Get H81, B85 to get i5 4460. or push your budget little bit higher.

Good try, but the V300 is as slow as a hard drive.

Just changed the SSD and the PSU (for a cheaper option) the rest seems just fine.

Yeah that looks pretty good actually. A lot of people say that the Kingston SSD is really bad, but if you've never had an SSD, you'll definitely see a big difference between that and a mechanical hard drive. With that said, I went with the Adata SP900 128 GB SSD because it was faster and it was only a few dollars more expensive.
