First time building a pc

I found a build online claiming to be better than current gen consoles, so I'm using that except I'm substituting the storage and ram with the parts from my old pc. I was wondering if someone could look at the parts I'm using and give me tips, like if there is a cheaper part that is just as good etc. This is my parts list:
Case: http://www.superbiiz.com/detail.php?name=CA-2300BL&c=CJ
CPU: http://www.superbiiz.com/detail.php?name=I5-4460BOX&c=CJ
Motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=
Graphics Card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=
Power Supply: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0045L5LGI/?&tag=pcpapi-20
I am also getting a four pack of fans to help cool the whole thing, I don't plan on overclocking so I figured I didn't need water cooling or anything like that.
 
Probably not good running 3 different brands of memory with different timings. I would definitely get new memory that is the same.
 
You can't have 2 different brand memory stickers on the same stick. You have kingston, crucial and samsung. There are different part numbers on each of those 3 labels. You would need cpuz installed to determine correct model you have if you truly have 2 stickers on 1 stick.

I purchased the ram a long time ago and currently the computer the ram is from is not working, but maybe Crucial is owned by Samsung?
 
Other than the ram, (I'm not entirely sure what's up with that :P) are there any parts that anyone would replace for a cheaper or better part?

Nope. I would actually get a better motherboard like a Z97 from Gigabyte. Otherwise, build looks good.

Thanks for the feedback! If something doesn't work my first suspect will be the oddly branded ram. I'll look into a motherboard from Gigabyte. I don't plan on overclocking, but in the future if I did would I have any problems using just fans?
