What's your budget?
What will you be using it for?


I ask these questions because you can get a newer better build for the same amount you were going to spend

Last gen CPU. Will you overclock? What will you use the rig for?

Yes I'm planning to overclock and I'm using this mainly for gaming.

Add an SSD and a decent cooler when you can.

Personally at this budget I wouldn't bother overclocking and just get a SSD straight away.

I would switch out the Z77 motherboard for a Z97 motherboard because they are not too much more expensive and are more up to date.
I would also switch the R9 270 with a GTX 960, it is newer and also here is a link comparing the cards:
