building my first PC

[razer]

im just about to build my first pc ever. ive been reading up and doing research for a month now.. i think i got a pretty good setup planned out. i would like to know if there is any tech-ppl out there who can see some changes i should make. im really trying to be a on a tight budget to be able to get the r9 280 3g.

mobo: MSI H97 PC Mate
CPU: Intel Core i5-4460 3.2Ghz Box
memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X DDR3 1600 PC3-12800 8GB 2x4GB CL7
PSU: Corsair CS550M 550W 80 Plus Gold Modular
GPU: Gigabyte Radeon R9 280 OC windforce 3GB GDDR5
box: Nox NX-3 USB 3.0 red LED
fans: 2x Tacens Mars Gaming MF12 120x120
HD: Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 1TB SATA3

I would consider AMD FX 8350 more bang for the buck, you get 8 cores not 4 like the i5 more clock speed 4ghz and 4.2 with turbo i5 is 3.2ghz and 3.4 with turbo and it's also unlocked so you can overclock it or underclock it
