With the 970, this build makes me feel warm and fuzzy, except for my OCD about matching the SSD color to the rest of the build.

You need a dedicated GPU for decent gaming. Other than that, it looks fine though 16GB RAM isn't completely necessary..

Pure Wings 3 | Case: Sliger SM580 (Black) | PSU: Corsair SF850

I feel like your SSD should match your color scheme.  Also, get some white sleeved cables.  Also, I don't know about that PSU, how does it stack up against the legendary EVGA supernova G2?

Looks great then, depending on resolution. 1080p and 1440p will be fine, 4K of course is unattainable with a single card. Just so we're clear you know of the GTX 970 "issue", right?

Build is pretty good, but you're missing a 1 or 2 TB HDD for storage and game installing

The SSD won't be seen, and XFX makes good PSUs, not as good as the G2 but still good.

The window on the NZXT 530 isn't that big so I will only see the SDD when i open the case up. So im not that bothered.
