This would be quite a bit stronger for only $24 more. The SSD is only slighter weaker, the RAM is better, the case is still good and you have a much stronger graphics card.

RIG: I7-4790k @ 4.5GHz | MSI Z97S SLI Plus | 12GB Geil Dragon RAM 1333MHz | Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970 (1550MHz core/7800MHz memory) @ +18mV(Maxed out at 1650/7800 so far) | Corsair RM750 | Samsung 840 EVO 120GB, 1TB Seagate Barracuda | Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 (Closed) | Sound Blaster Z                                                                                                                        Getting: Noctua NH-D15 | Possible 250GB Samsung 850 Evo                                                                                        Need a console killer that actually shits on every console? Here you go (No MIR/Promo)

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

Everything looks great about that build through my eyes. Except maybe go with the R9 280X, I think it's a bit cheaper and performs the same, but I can't remember at the top of my head.

Looks good. Finally the first new PC builder that knows the i5 4690k and i7 4790k are supposed to be used with Z97 boards.

The EVGA NEX psu isn't that good. 

 

This Seasonic psu is better if you can fit it in your budget - http://pcpartpicker.com/part/seasonic-power-supply-ssr650rm
