Looks all good, apart from I, personally, would go with an i5 processor. As you're not a gamer, the better motherboard might be something like the Asus H87 series, which would allow you to fit a graphics card if you decide to.

This will power your system fine. That one you chose is awful and potentially unstable -

In which case, your build is about right, apart from the H87 series of motherboard apparently only supports Crossfire(AMD) and not SLI(Nvidia) graphics card, which would affect your rig. I would recommend changing to a motherboard with the Z87 chipset. The other features of the Z87 is that they allow overclocking, but as you don't intend to overclock, it renders the point mute.
