    I'd vote for the Xeon even if you are gaming as someday, we may use more than 4 threads.
    i5 only if your desire to overclock.

    you mean 1/7th as fast
    I'd probably recommend the 290X (not personally cause I'm a Nvidia fanboy)
    The 970 is better at 1080p but not above.

    I think you should put more storage.  6TB minimum in this budget!  (HDD+SSD)

    I'd like the Windforce because it keeps the entire GPU cool vs hot spots like on the ASUS and EVGA.

    There is far more than cores in choosing a processor.  Like Single-threaded perfromance.  AMD does not have it and is exceptionally slower in ALL programs especially compared to the i7.  The only thing they have is cheapness and better power than a dual-core Intel. 
     
    The build is good except that I would rather you go lower on things like the dual HDD Raid? the H100 and so fourth to try to get a Titan X inside.  Things like a 500GB SSD.  Go for say a 120 GB at 25% the cost and a single 2TB.  Just stick to cutting down a bit on stuff and you'll get 980 sli or a Titan X inside that build which will be a far better choice than any 500GB SSD or etc...

    First off, that is a VGA cable. an older but still good display cable.
    You will need a DVI to VGA adapter.  There are a few kinds but I personally like the ones that attach to the back of the card.  Your Graphics card may have one included so check there first.  If it doesn't, here is one for $2

    I have 8GB myself, it's just CPU issues (or something else) I can get a good 50FPS without ENB and my CPU is hardly maxed.  The issue is that something unknown appears to be a limit.  In games like Spliter Cell: Blacklist, I can get 40-50 FPS on Very High and 60 with a little reduction.

    If you were to go higher I'd aim for a better CPU like the 4690K or Xeon E3 1231 V3.
     
    Or a better 960 more importantly as the current is a mini-ITX.

    You still haven't really answered my question: 
    Based on the available information I recommend sticking with what you have, or buy more of them and do surround and another 970   5-way 1080p monitors in portrait mode is amazing!

    You need to have More Drive Capacity atleast 4TB to reflect the cost of that build.  1TB HDDs are for $500 PCs.  This one costs 7 times that.

    Hey, thanks for the compliment!
     
    I like your edit more especially the power supply but I think 1TB HDDs are the minimum for any user, that and for $12 more you can get more 500 Gigs.

    It has a GTX 960 and a i5 4430 at $608.  It'd be difficult to willingly go lower on anything.  You could skimp more on the motherboard but I would say go higher on the PSU, what is selected should be good though.

    Weak1ings got a reaction from Doctorfrozo in Will this build work out?   
    Looks good.
     
    I have a few suggestions though:
    Upgrade HDD to a 3TB for about $16
    A Xeon E3 1231 V3 will provide double  the threads but cannot overclock +$30
    More PSU wattage, Seasonic, Corsair, Rosewill, EVGA, and Antec are all great brands to choose.  More wattage so you can SLI later down the road.  (aim for 700W+ for a comfortable 970 SLI)
