How is my Build

I don't want to do any overclocking

 

I know that an H97 Board would make a lot more sense seeing as the CPU is non overclockable and there is no CPU Cooler but, I Couldn't find any Black and Red H97 Boards that had the Features that I wanted although I considered the Gaming 3 from MSI as well

 

I want to play Elder Scrolls Online as well as upcoming titles with Very High Settings 1080p with around 60FPS

 

Thanks

The GTX970 runs eso just fine maxed out at 1080p, though imo eso kinda sucks ass.. skyrim is a ton better.

You might want to get the i5 4690K if you want to overclock, as the non-k versions cannot really be overclocked.

Overall that build looks pretty damn good! Nice job m8!

Great build, everything is balanced and the color theme is consistant. Although this isn't neccesary, getting an unlocked i5  and Z97 might give it more resale value in the future.

 junker build in the making

If you are getting a non-K i5, you might as well get hyper-threading with it.  The Xeon E3-1231 V3 is like having an i7 4770 (non K):
