I am about to build a new computer but before I buy any parts I want to see if there are any ways I can improve my build without changing the price. Any suggestions on how I should change my build would be appreciated.

Parts list (prices in AUD):
CPU: Intel i5 4690k - $359
Mobo: MSI gaming 5 z97 - $249
RAM: G Skill 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1866Mhz - $72
GPU: MSI R9 390 (I might be getting an Rx 480) - $395
HDD: WD Blue 1TB - $68
Case: Corsair Carbide Spec-03 - $85
OS: Windows 8.1 - $94
PSU: Corsair CS650M 650W 80+ Gold - $135
Total: $1457
