He's got Corsair Vengeance Ram,  and I would recommend a different Ram if you are having a red theme build.

[Recon97]

For CPU cooler buy nzxt kraken x61.If you are just gaming at 1080p then don't buy 980,970 will perform good.Other than this,I think you did well in choosing the right parts.

[PercySavageEG]

for the cooler, do you want your pc to be water or liquid cooled? are you planning to extreme over clock your cpu and gpu?

 

for RAM, I recommend getting g skill's memory, it's not top of the line but its decent and will definitely do the job, if you want the best ram, maybe you can get some dominator platinum from corsair?

 

for the PSU, you should get the EVGA 220-G2-0750-XR power supply, it's quite cheap for a 80+ gold power supply and it has upgradeability in mind and it's also from a trustworthy company

how do you know, am I miss reading something or is there something that he didn't tell us?

also, is there a particular reason that you chose the MSI board? because there are plenty other Z97 boards that offers more feature for around the same price point from Asus or Gigabyte,

 

What is this build going to be used for? If you are only using this rig for gaming and not planning to do production or rendering, I would consider going for an I5-4690k instead, they will both offer around the same performance in games and you will save ~$100 to use on other equipments

What's your budget, location and what do you plan on doing with this build?

[Magilla]

One thing I would recommend is a second SSD.  I put a 120 GB boot drive in my current PC, and even with installing most of my games and data on separate HDDs, the 120GB is just full of windows stuff.  I am planning to upgrade to a 240Gb (at a minimum) in the very near future.  If you already have the 120GB in hand, get a second and put them in RAID 0.
