You can do slightly better than that processor and for less money. Instead of the i5 4690S I would advise the i5 4690 (without the S). The S model is the same chip but running at a lower frequency so they can sell it as having a lower TDP. Basically meaning they can sell it as consuming less power therefore producing less heat. Essentially with the S model you are paying more for less.
Next would be the GPU. I am sorry but the suggestion to game on the processor iGPU is terrible (I don't mean to offend it just is). Although technically you can game on them it is not what they are intended for. Any game you play will have to be played on it's lowest settings. Even then some of the more demanding games will be next to unplayable. The GTX 750 you selected should be just fine for what you want to do but for just a little more money the AMD R7 265 seems to be the best bang for buck card at that price range. Consumes a little more power, probably a little noisier but makes up for it with the performance it delivers.
My final suggestion would be to be aware that when shopping on part picker it doesn't usually take postage costs into consideration. If you are ordering from say 4 different places then that is 4 lots of postage to pay. When doing a complete build it usually pays to buy everything from one place. Just find the place that does everything you want the cheapest.
