I'm not even sure what to think.

Y? And what do you mean?

Pretty solid overall.

 

Not sure what Ram prices are like in the US, but I would look at getting a 1600Mhz kit and save a few dollars. There's pretty much no meaningful performance impact at all

Oh really I'll keep it in mind. Thanks.

Ah you fixed it, before it was just a wall of text with a bunch of model numbers and prices lol. Your system looks fine, but if you wanted to save some $$ then I would go with a i5 4690k instead of the i7, since for gaming the i7 doesn't offer too much improvement and for general use there isn't too much of a difference(unless if you are video editing I would go with the i5). You could also save a few $ by going with slower RAM since that also doesn't make too much of a difference, but $160 for 16Gb isn't bad at all. Other than that I would go with a R9 290X instead of the GTX 970(especially since you have a 850w PSU), but that's just because I like AMD cards more than nVidia(or alternatively since you will be saving from the CPU, you can put that towards a GTX 980).
