Not much to really complain about. Everything seems good except for the PSU, which I would change to a EVGA G2 650W instead. I'd also personally save some money and grab a Sapphire R9 390 and a beQuiet! Pure Rock cooler instead.

Maybe spend the extra on a better CPU if you want to?

Don't think you can do much better on the GPU with $100 though

This is my first time building a gaming PC and wanted to get some opinions on it.

Primary use will be heavy gaming, I have about an extra $100 I could spend if you think it would be worth it. 

Not much too say either, very close to my build honestly
