Looks pretty much perfect for no OCing if you're gaming at 1080p or 1440p. Maybe change the case to a Cooler Master N200.

CPU - Good

Mobo - Good

Ram - Good

SSD - Good

HDD - Good

GPU - Good, though I'd recommend the gigabyte g1 gaming, runs quieter and cooler.

Case - Good

PSU - Meh, Stick to corsair, seasonic, silverstone, or evga for power supplies, and semi-modular is perfectly fine too, as the only pre-attached cables are the 24 pin and cpu power. (I'd go for a corsair cx600m or similar)

 

I'd also suggest investing in a couple extra decent quality case fans and an aftermarket cpu cooler just to help keeps temps down as low as possible, not to mention the intel stock cooler can be a bit loud when it has to cool a cpu that is under a bit of stress.

And @TheKDub that PSU is great. Its one of the most recommended PSUs in a Portuguese forum I frequent as well, for its quiet operation and reliability

Fantastic. Except the graphics card. The GTX 970's video RAM is broken, don't buy it. You will be much better off with a R9 290X, which will perform pretty much the same, and will be slightly cheaper.

if youre paying that much for a locked cpu and H97, why not just buy the 4690k and a Z97 which will probably cost the exact same or a little more, at least down the road you have the option

The XFX XTR is made by Seasonic. It says XFX Though, Like how the EVGA 750B2 is Actually made by Superflower, I'll look into the Gigabyte One though, This is actually a PC that I'm building For my Brother, I already built a similar one with The G1 

 

Thanks For The Input
