Hi, I am new to building PC so I do not know whether this build I have made is good/bad and will highly appreciate any advice. I would prefer not to go above the budget calculated in link. I would use this PC for casual games like SC2, LoL and for work.

Thanks in advance
 
A couple of things...

You bought a 'locked' processor. I assume you will not be overclocking? If not, just run the stock Intel cooler and save a bit of money.

Also, if you are not overclocking, you can go with a different tier motherboard. First, Z97 is the chipset native to your CPU, but I would go with an H97 based board if you are not overclocking and again save some money.
 
Since you're going with a locked CPU look at getting a Xeon instead.
Agreed on going with H97.
You can drop the CPU cooler, the CPU will come with one.

Use the money saved to get a higher quality PSU and case.
 
Psu isnt better, it's just more wattage. If you are looking at 600w area, look at EVGA gs650.
