So basically... I'll have a few questions also. Will this PC still be good let's say by the end of 2015? Maybe, maybe the 980 will drop in price and that would be a choice or SLI the 970. I als have the photo of the PSU because instead of the rosewill I'll be using the seasonic. This may or may not change over time depending on my budget. If I get this job I could have around $2500-$3000 and I might be able to get something way better. But for now I wanted to stay below $2000.

Looks alright, though I'd recommend the gigabyte gtx 970 g1 gaming instead, its a binned card, so it will overclock higher than most other cards, it runs cooler, and quieter than other cards too. (Follow @Lays tutorial and you can enable 0RPM fan mode on it, so it is completely silent at idle.)

 

And I'd go for the seasonic PSU over the rosewill PSU that you've got in there, and get a 240 or 280mm aio if you can fit one in the case.

You can drop down to a Core i5 no problem. What will you be doing with this computer?

Also, get a SSD (128GB) and a 1TB HDD separately, for more reliability. 

And why Windows 7? Microsoft will be moving to Windows 10 soon anyways. (And windows 8 is pretty much 7 with classic shell) 

Also 750W is way to much. You can get a 650W or 620W and be able to go to a 980 no problem.

750w because I plan on SLI 970. 980s aren't worth the extra $200 in my opinion. Also if I get windows 7 within the first year Windows 10 is out I get it for free anyways. Plus I picked the hybrid drive because I don't need some super speed SSD. It'll just be for a few small games.

Also maybe twitch or youtube in the future. If I do youtube Id get another HDD that's 2-4 TBs but 1tb is all I need for now.

Even an i5 will be more than enough for that. The reliability of SSHDDs is pretty poor, and if one fails you lose it all. Plus it costs about the same for a separate SSD and HDD.

Just get windows 8 for now. It really will be worth it if Windows 10 is complete shit.
