Honest opinion here : Poor choice of parts.

Overpriced motherboard and that PSU isnt exactly "safe".

But it looks sick! :D

Few things

1) Fix your cable management, it is dreadful

2) You should of went for a bigger case that would have accommodated your GPU length

3) If i was you i would have selected a I5 and a GTX 770 or an R9 280 instead of the 970

4) Would of went with an EVGA PSU or a Seasonic PSU.

Very nice.  Don't listen to the complainers, it's a good build and the i3 is totally fine.  It's a shame the GPU didn't fit without having to use a saw!  Not a big deal though - that's how you learn  =)
