Well, if its primarily for programming, I think you had a great build first time around, I just assumed gaming, since that's what most of the PC building community is building for. I would suggest getting a discrete graphics card, but not necessarily an expensive gaming card, something cheap, just for the higher pixel rate (number of pixels the card can output per second, in general, AMD hardware takes the crown here over intel and Nvidia), because, as a programmer myself, having multiple monitors is so valuable (coincidentally, if you can get your hands on a 1920x1200 IPS display that supports being turned vertical, do it, its a godsend), but if thats the case, I say that's fine. No need to buff the powersupply for a programmers build, since you won't be running a 300W card in that any time soon. If you can find a desktop R5 300 series card, I would plop that in, or a cheap nvidia GT series card, otherwise, integrated should be fine, since AMD's integrated options are usually stronger than Intel's. For a first build, and considering your workload, this is very well thought out, normally I see shit for gaming where people are trying to run say, an i7, watercooled, and a GTX 750 or similar for GPU. Then again, people doing workstation builds that aren't for video editing are fairly uncommon, at least on the sites I frequent. Good luck with the build.
Honestly, this is against the grain of the subreddit, but a laptop would serve you better, cause it lets you work wherever you want instead of being confined to your desk.
