how is this for my first pc build.

I would go for a cheapercooler. A hyper 202 or something is more than enough.
I am also not to sure about corsair SSD's. Proven reliable SSD's are the Crucial mx100 or the Samsung 840 evo.
Also 500 Watts should be more than enough for a PSU.
Upgrade the GPU with the money you save.
Here I did some slight modifications.
I swapped the H100i to the Hyper 212 Evo like taipan recommended since it's a very good CPU cooler for its price.
And with the money saved from changing the CPU cooler I upgraded your HDD to a 2 TB drive.

You haven't listed what you're going to use this computer for nor specified a budget.
Is it for general basic usage?
Is this a workstation? If so, what will you be doing and to what extent?
Is it for gaming? If so, then are they demanding? What settings and resolution do you want to play them at?
- A Core i5 4690K with a Nvidia 750ti is a fairly unbalanced build.
- It's better to get an aircooler for performance/silence ratio than a closed waterloop one.
- Would you see yourself taking full advantage of an ATX motherboard? If not then you can move down to both an mATX motherboard and case. It's more space efficient.
- The memory you listed is overpiced and has tall heatsinks. Just get the cheapest compatible set that doesn't have fins/tall heatsink.
- Do try and get a Samsung 840 EVO if your budget allows it. I really do highly recommend it. I personally would avoid Crucial drives (including the MX100).
- The PSU you chose is vastly overpowered for your listed build.
