Hey guys, I'm new to building PCs and was wondering if this is a good build? Many thanks.

Case: NZXT H440 Mid tower
HDD: 1TB SATA3
CPU: Intel Core i5 i5-4690K
RAM: HyperX FURY 8GB 1866MHz DDR3 CL10 240-Pin DIMM
PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 750W B1 Bronze 80
Mobo: GIGABYTE GA-Z97X-UD3H-BK Black Edition - Socket 1150 - Chipset Z97 - ATX
GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 980
CPU Cooler: NZXT Kraken X61

I'm spending around £1,000 on the build. And may add in some LEDs. Please leave some feedback on if it's good or if not what should I change. Thanks again!

Save some cash, get 2 x 970, if You want to pack more punch, or get +8 gigs of ram. CPU Cooler is "best" in it's class, but there are some better water coolers. If Your case carries it, I'd go after NH-U14s, D14/D15. And You forgot about SSD, gaming computer without SSD is a real loss.
