Tickld wrote 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:

I think OP would want a PC that works and is compatible if I'm being honest..

If you are planning to overclock then go with Craigyy_JR's build and like he said add an aftermarket when possible.

Forgot that it was a 3rd gen CPU and that Z97 wouldn't be compatible. I agree with Craigyy_JR's build too.
