Question: Why do you need a vga splitter?

 

Also if your purely  just for gaming, get 8gb of ram instead

 

Side note: if you care how quiet your pc is, I recommend getting some replacement fans for the h100i

I want to play in ultra definition, and play almost all types of games. I would like to know if these are good parts.

Amazing choices, but I'd go for less RAM to save money.

Don't know your budget, and location, though, so it's hard to advise.

Remember to be a good citizen and choose a 'best answer' when your problem has been resolved!

The new ever games are eating 6 GB Ram at top. It would be a better choice to go for 12GB ram.

For fan replacement, noctua is the best choice. They are great of build quality and warranty.

But it never a great idea to use 12GB since a pair of 4gb sticks would be running on dual channel while a single stick of 4gb would be runnin single channel which might effect performance, and depending on the  motherboard, it might cause all 3 stick to run single channel mode.

Even if 8gb wasn't enough a few months down the line, the op can easily upgrade as he would have 2 empty slots left.

I wonder why 2 displays for a single 970?

Hey 970 is decent and he isn't going to have a three monitor setup that gpu can handle it and he could get a second 970 in the future if he really wanted
