G.Skill Ares Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory

Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

Sapphire Radeon R9 380 4GB Nitro Video Card

NZXT S340 (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case

EVGA 600B 600W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply

I see nothing wrong with that build at all, I'd add a 120gb SSD for about $60 as a boot drive if I was being picky.

Is a SSD necessary? I know they have faster loading times, but are there any other benefits?

No that's it really, not essential but once you go SSD you won't go back.

Arguably they're more reliable now too.

I see that you're getting the i5-4690 (non-k) and a Z97 board. If you're not OCing, you get a H97 board and save some money.

I also encourage you to get a SSD. An optional hardware that makes you enjoy using your PC, no more waiting for your disk to spin.
