These Are My Parts :

MoBo : ASRock H97 Anniversary - motherboard - ATX - LGA1150 Socket(H97ANNIVERSARY).

GPU : EVGA Nvidia GTX 970 SSC ACX Cooling 2.0 4 GB Graphics Card.

RAM : HyperX FURY Series 8GB (2x 4GB) DDR3 1866MHz CL10 DIMM Memory Module Kit - Blue.

Storage : WD 1TB 3.5 inch Internal Hard Drive - Caviar Blue.

SSD Storage : Samsung 2.5-Inch 120 GB 850 EVO Solid State Drive.

By the way, this is my First ever PC Build so If you have any tips or tricks you would like to share, Please feel free! :)

Looks good!

 

Just take your time and be wary of ESD. Make sure all connections are secure and you should be fine. It's not as hard as some people make it out to be.

That's not supposed to do that....

Pretty good you could tone down the ram to 1600MHz save some money as that's all you'll need

I woud change to 16000Mhz but it's actually cheaper in Ireland to get 1866Mhz :)

No Aftermarket Cooler?

I don't think I'll need it as i don't plan on overclocking, I'll just use the stock cooler.

Not a big fan of ASRock boards, but otherwise it looks fine. The EVGA GS is a good choice for the psu and it will easily handle the build.

Oh nice! and don't worry about aftermarket coolers... I don't understand why people think you NEED them for cpu's that don't overclock...

Thanks, I wasn't sure about that psu! Is there any other Mobos that you can recommend for roughly the same price, maybe from a more popular/reliable company? :)

https://pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-motherboard-gab85hd3 Good motherboard, but I'm not sure if it's better/worse than the one you selected but it is a very good one for non-overclocking
