Noice, however, swap the SSD for something else, stay with MLC Nand, TLC is just meh. Also, get H100i, save up a few, the single rads are beaten by most air coolers.

And the Strix is known to have coil whine issues, I recommend an EVGA non ACX card or the infamous G1 Gaming

Switch your PSU to an XFX XTR 550W, it's cheaper and quite a lot better

All 970's can have coil whine.

My 970 G1 has coil whine when running things at 500fps+

 

The MSI and Gigabyte 970's are way better at overclocking than the Asus 970 obviously, just look at the power designs.

Change the corsair rm out for a psu that isn't overpriced.

This psu is just as good if not better and after rebate it's only 40. 

 

As far as the evo, it's a fine drive. Tlc may not be as good as mlc but if you get the evo for the right price it's a fantastic drive.

I would also like to add that any cooler under h100i is completely crap in the price to cooling ratio. A air cooler of the same price would decimate it, but looks can be important.
