Slightly over your $575, but I changed the motherboard to a better one, from my earlier build, so you will have broadwell support, should you be able to upgrade the CPU next year. Also changed out for a far better PSU.

Not knowing your budget, it is difficult to suggest much. This one is about $10 more than your build, OP, but better GPU and CPU.
