I don't understand..

 

Looks pretty similar to my rig

I don't know much about the RAM and the PSU but I can vouch for everything else

lol.

I'd get:

Cooler:

Mobo and cpu...why get unlocked if you won't over clock?
It's not really needed for a single 970 and you could save some cash.

Didn't notice the PSU.
I'd get a seasonic or an evga/superflower/antec/etc...

I made the mistake of buying cheap. (I bought the whole rig before I frequented the site)

Closer to mine

I got white leds too...AF120s look cool in the front

3rd edit:
Case is a 450d...rigbuilder wont accept that

 

Why you should not buy a Corsair CX
Get a better PSU and you dont need more then 450-500 watt for the system you are building.

Thanks guys.. really good info.

I'm switching out that PSU for http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA24G2HM7124&cm_re=evga_supernova-_-17-438-025-_-Product

Still working on other adjustments.

 

That's a great unit for sure, but depending on your final choice of GPU could end up being significantly over-spec.

I think I'm sticking with the Gigabyte G1 970 (also comes with a free copy of The Witcher 3).

 

If you're not overclocking, get a Xeon and H97 motherboard. You shouldn't need an aftermarket cooler, either. If I get a break at work, I'll come up with something.

In that case, the 750w PSU is not needed and the cheaper XFX unit can be used.

 

Get an H81 motherboard for about $50 less than your Z97 one if you can manage with fewer USB ports (the other features you'd lose out on shouldn't make much difference).

 

This is a tad over $1000 before rebates. You can use the savings to buy The Witcher 3.

Edited because the original CPU I selected didn't have hyperthreading. Whoops.

Yeah, not one to buy.

That one is even worse.
Why you should not buy an FSP Raider / EVGA SuperNova NEX750B
Stay away from all of these

Why you should not buy a Corsair CX
Why you should not buy a Corsair CX750/850
Why you might not want to buy a Corsair RM PSU
Why you should not buy an NZXT HALE 82 N
Why you should not buy an NZXT HALE 82 V2
Why you should not buy an EVGA 430 / 500 / 500B / 600B PSU
Why you should not buy an EVGA SuperNova NEX650G/750G
Why you should not buy a Cooler Master GX
Why you should not buy a Cooler Master Extreme II
Why you should not buy a Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold
Why you should not buy a Thermaltake TR2 RX
Why you should not buy a Thermaltake Toughpower Grand
Why you should not buy an OCZ ModXStream Pro
Why you should not buy a Bitfenix Fury

And 750 watt is way overkill for a system with a single GTX 970 in it, its overkill even for a system with two GTX 970 cards in it.

unfortunately evga still sells NEX B 750 and has even repackaged the NEX G into the G1 650/750.

EVGA SuperNova lineup explained

 

Only Newegg? or any website?

 

I didn't even notice the original post only included Newegg items. If you're only looking at Newegg, my suggested build comes in around $1030. This can be brought under with a different case. Just pick one you like.

Edited to update the processor. Price becomes slightly more prohibitive.

CPU: i7 4790k can turbo to 4.4GHZ which will give you insta-like overclocking
CPU Cooler: enough to cool the i7 4790k upto 4.6GHZ
Motherboard: I own one and i can vouch that its one of the best mobos for that price
Memory: getting 8GB is like living on the edge get 16GB to be safe
Storage: Like you wanted
GPU: Like you wanted
Case: best case for under 100$
Powersupply: cheap quality unit and you wont need more than 520 for a single GPU

OR this if you would like a larger SSD and an Optical drive

I know many people won't recommend it, but if he won't overclock at all and looks to save where he can, he might as well use the stock cooler that comes with the CPU.
