change the processor to i5 4460 and spend that money on a better gpu

How do you like this? That's an 8 logical core Haswell (like an i7) with an R9 290 and a bigger SSD (get a HDD later). I kept your case since it's a good price for something with some cable room. And a much more reliable PSU

I think this would be a better build for a gaming rig. No difference in gaming performance between the i5-4690 and i5-4460.

GPU upgraded to r9 280x, or you can go with GTX 960, big difference of course.

Motherboard changed to h97, since you have a locked proc, you really don't need a z97 board.

PSU changed to XFX, not a fan of corsair, but depends on you, just make sure its at least 80+ bronze.

Will they ship YOU to the United States? Sorry, I got nothing when it comes to foreign builds. But you can use the above builds as example.
