The H440 does not have good airflow at all. It's mediocre at best.

 

For PSU: EVGA G2 750W leaves room for 2/3-way SLI

For case: H440 if you want silence and looks, Arc Midi R2 if you want airflow and prefer sleek designs, Phanteks enthoo pro for a nice balance

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

Any particular reason you went for an i7? Also title says 970 but build shows an r9 280x, the PSUs I trust are Superflower, Leadex/EVGA, Seasonic and BeQuiet, cases: NZXT, Corsair, Fractal and Silverstone

Depends on what you play, I'm currently using an i5 and should cope for at least 2 years because a game that requires an i7 to be playable will remove most of it's player base
