Id swap the graphics card to a r9 280x because 3gb of ram and much bigger memory bandwidth is what you want and not a gimped nvidia gpu. The rest of the build is fine

Your money is better spent in a 290x graphics card. Then lose the fans cause you dont need them and get a better mouse and keyboard.
