That's a really powerful rig, enough to make me jealous lol!

Looks great, personally i'd change out the 970 for a 290x but that's just my preference. 

ah i see we have the same preference i was going to choose the 290x because i am amd fan but when i read that the gtx 970 is cheaper and better i said why not change it up a bit and if i dont like it ill send it back and get the 290x msi lighting version  ;)

There it is again! D: There are price drops so that maybe a reason but paying a little more for a more quiet/cooler card is worth it.

Updated my post* 

I somewhat agree :)

Although personally I don't really mind noise, I just turn up the speakers or use headphones. As for heat, just use better case flow, although it's always freezing here in the UK so a heater is appreciated in the form of a GPU.

Oh gosh! 

Talk about it! I was using a GT 220 and Pentium D until July last year, it could run BF3 at 720p on low (had to use an ultra low graphics mod) and still only got 35fps!
