that actually a very good build, you can drop the After market heatsink, since the i5 4460 cant be overclocked, the stock cooler will be more than enough. switching some things around and buying from other sites will save you 75$, check below.
1600mhz memory instead of 1866. sapphire 280 instead of windforce.

Thats a good build

Also if you're going to build it yourself, try reading this thread

Its a trouble shooting guide but also helpful for build instructions.
