New PC Build

CPU:Intel Core i7 4770 3.4 ghz

Mobo:(Thinking of buying a Gigabyte board but then I saw it has a PCIe 2.0 x16 slot and not a 3.0,so I was wondering will there be a performance hit if I inserted my card into a 2.0 slot?)

RAM:Corsair 8 GB 2x4 1600 mhz Dual Channel

GPU:Palit Jetstream GTX 970

Storage: 1 TB HDD WD Caviar Blue

PSU:Corsair VS550W 80+Bronze

Case:Cooler Master Elite 430

OS:Windows 8.1 64-bit

And is that i7 4770 a "futureproof" cpu? I really dont want to change my cpu in 2 years.

You'll hardly see a performance decrease between PCI-E 2.0 and 3.0 on a 16X slot. 

What are you wanting to achieve with this, and what's you budget? 

Please look at the New Builds and Planning subforum, you'll find some good info about how to structure your posts about new PC builds in there.

And as @Pearsonia already said, by using PCPP it makes it a lot easier for us to help you.

The 4770 is a very nice CPU and will last quite a while (probably 2-4 years), but you could easily bump it up to a 4790, or even a K edition for overclockability for just a little bit more.

Upgrading to a SSD was one of the best ways to speed up my PC, you may want to consider buying one as an OS drive, since they really came down in price.

Yeah, get a K series i7, SSD, Z97 mobo and a better PSU
