It looks decent but I would change the PSU to a little more powerful one in case you want to upgrade in the future.

I would definitely get an SSD too.

 

And 4690k instead. 

 

I agree. since your buying a z97 Motherboard there is no reason not to overclock.

SSD for a boot drive is a for super fast start ups. I would change the HDD from Seagate to WD or another brand, I have not had a good experience with Seagate HDD yet.

 

Note: I am using a barracuda but it's on it's last lag after a year and a half, and replacing it soon.

Get a better PSU. That EVGA is made for budget builds, not one's like this. The XFX TS 550W has 5 year warranty, and is only around £12 more expensive. Don't skimp on the PSU.

Speak for yourself you have a fucking CX600M.

Hence there is a massive (RUBBISH!) sign next to it. I got that when I didn't know what I was doing so much. Keep the insults down, damn lol
