I've spent a while getting things together, asked around here a bit too, but this is what I have finally come to before I go and buy the parts! Any very final things that could be changed before I order?

 

This is on the absolute max of my budget..! (£750 no cooler/ssd)

Will be getting the SSD and cooler in a few months time.

http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-power-supply-cs550m is a better PSU at an equal price. Get this one instead.

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

The 600W seems like it would be too much for a single GPU and not enough for 2 GPUs in the future.

Doubt I'd ever use 2 GPUs (I say that now...)

Can I ask in what way it's better?

Gold instead of bronze. Semi modular and the CS series uses better parts than the CX series.
