Whats your power supply? I'd suggest something like this http://www.amazon.com/Fractal-Design-650-Watt-Certified-FD-PSU-IN2B-650W/dp/B009LHF4HC/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1390635362&sr=1-2&keywords=fractal+integra 

Also try to get a full sized motherboard. Something like http://www.amazon.com/MSI-Motherboard-Motherboards-Z87-G41-MATE/dp/B00D12OBEA/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1390635473&sr=1-1&keywords=MSI+Z87-G41

And for just 10 bucks more you can double your storage.  http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Barracuda-3-5-Inch-Internal-ST1000DM003/dp/B005T3GRNW/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1390635720&sr=1-3&keywords=1+tb+hard+drive

Other than that I think your good. If you want a CPU cooler I'd go with the Cooler Master 212 evo. http://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-Hyper-212-RR-212E-20PK-R2/dp/B005O65JXI/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1390635666&sr=1-1&keywords=212+evo

in this price range, i would suggest you to go AMD on the cpu, because you are getting in this situation, more power for less money in gaming, than going with that i5.

here would be a good build http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2Hgsa

+1, build has a lot of overclocking potential, while still having a lot of power stock.  If you do use a lot of single-threaded programs, then it may be a slightly different story.
