Hi guys, I am going to build a computer but I haven't built one before. Below is a build I made and I would like to know what you think of it and if I need to change something. The parts I'm sure I don't want to change is the case just because of its looks haha I'm not sure of the motherboard and power supply though, those two are the things I have a few knowledge of. If you could suggest other parts that are cheaper but of the same or more quality than the ones I have that would be very much appreciated :)

Edit: I don't plan to overclock too. So will the stock fan be fine?

Solution
CPU + MB - B85 chipset will need a BIOS update to work with the Haswell CPU. Either "drop" the CPU to the i5-4440, or change the MB to an H97 chipset. The former would be cheaper.
MEM - Pretty expensive for standard modules. Look toward DDR3-1600 modules with a latency of CL9 or lower. The modules below are performance oriented being low latency (CL8).
PSU - Zotac ithe cheapest for a reason... Check out the EVGA Superclocked or Gigabyte Windforce 3x. They offer better cooling solutions than the Zotac.
HD - The WD Red isn't the best performer as it is designed for NAS configurations. Look toward the WD Blue or a Seagate offering.
PSU - Fine and all, but look first toward XFX or Seasonic, then Antec or EVGA.

Board only supports 1600 so 1866 ram is unnecessary and unless your using more than 1 monitor 4gb of ram on a gpu is pretty much pointless just a waste of money also that MoBo doesn't appear to have very good reviews. Stock fan is always ok if no overclocking and your not like in the desert or something.
