Change the CPU to a i5-4670k, grab a CPU cooler (CM Hyper 212 EVO, Noctua NH-D14), and change the RAM to 8GB of Vengeance/Pro memory and you're golden.

wow ok I'm a little surprised thats all i have to change being my first build and all but, thanks! and also whats so bad about the stock cpu cooler?

Well since you did put a non-k CPU in there initially, an aftermarket cooler is not really necessary. But if you do intend to overclock, an aftermarket is recommended, well, pretty much requird. The stock cpu cooler is -barely- good enough to operate at stock speeds.

If you do plan on overclocking, you can buy the i5-4670k, and buy the aftermarket CPU cooler when you are ready to do so, but I would suggest just getting it now with the rest of your parts.

But other than that, everything looks great.
