[Custom Rig] Need advice!

[Tanukichii]

Hi! This will be the first time I attempt to build a PC Desktop for myself. It will be nice if I can have some feedback on this build that I have in mind!

I intend to use this as a Gaming PC, playing games like Skyrim, DAI, the upcoming Fallout 4 on medium-high and probably HOTS on Ultra setting. I will probably use earphones/portable speaker for this Build

Here you go:

CPU: Intel Core i5-4590 3.3GHz Quad-Core Processor
Motherboard: ASRock H97M-ITX/AC Mini ITX LGA1150 Motherboard
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Storage: Kingston SSDNow V300 Series 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 320GB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 960 2GB SuperSC ACX 2.0+ Video Card
Case: Cooler Master Elite 130 Mini ITX Tower Case
Power Supply: Corsair CX 430W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply



I am a newbie in this area and since I have restricted space in my room, I am leaning towards a Mini ITX. I am trying to work around a <$1,000 budget. If any parts can be swapped out for a cheaper option that will be awesome as well. Do let me know if certain parts are overkill or incompatible.

Thank you so much in advance!

Hi moneyface, is it worth it to pay $30 more to upgrade from 4460 to 4590 for the faster clock speed if my usage is going to be the same as ts(gaming)?

Is there anything wrong with my current build though? Or is there unessential parts that are better replaced with your recommendations?
