it'll work, it's good, but not optimized in any way.

212 EVO instead of Gemini

1600mhz memory, cheapest you can get

I'd choose a different 970 but its ok

500-600w psu. 750w is overkill for only one 970.

ssd/hdd?

Looks perfectly fine to me except for one thing: The CPU cooler.

 

I would replace it with something bigger and better (Unless the low-profile is really important to you) like the Noctua NH-D15, BQ Dark rock pro 3 or the likes

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

you can overclock memory yourself

wont hurt to have this great psu, its your choice, but you could save up some money to put it in better case / gpu

Yes, It will work, But you should get a case that supports USB 3.0 so you can make use of it in the front.

In that case just go with a Hyper 212, it should be cheaper. Or even just the stock cooler, if you can live without overclocking until you get your watercooling stuff.
