What about the GPU? or you planning on using integrated?
 
Nice Budget Build

I think those are pretty good choices for the $. I like all Corsair's products (I have the Carbide 400R, H100, and 4 AirFlow fans), so those look good. The MSI board looks well built for a $120 part, but keep in mind, it's CrossFireX only if you ever go for two video cards. The 4670K is exactly what you need. This build as it stands would make a great all-purpose desktop, but for more than casual gaming, a discrete graphics card is needed. If it's not in your budget right now, you could use the Intel 4600 integrated graphics until you have the $ for at least a GTX 760 (~$250) or a 7870 if you prefer AMD or you want to CF later.
