looks good. But if going for streaming and stuff maybe go fo 16gb of ram. If you just have 8gb your game might take most of it and if you want your other programs like the streaming software and the stream running in the background the 16gb might come in handy. Btw very nice build I'm gealous

Use the closest PCPartPicker to you unless you are wanting to pay for that shipping to Sweden from America.

PSU is shit (crappy 12V stability, which is what we care about)

Storage options are shit (no SSD, unreliable HDD)

CPU/MoBO choice make no sense (games are thread limited, and even with streaming 4 cores w/ hyper threading is more than sufficient for any game out there

 

Let me throw a build together for $1500 or less (probably less).

The 144hz is what's going to cost you the most. If you only needed to push 60fps in most games, and only needed the 144fps for games like CS:GO, then a GTX 970 would be perfectly fine and save you over $300, however getting 144 in all games even the demanding ones is tough so I feel like I have to throw in a 980ti. There's ample space to even throw in a second one down the road at any time should you need the extra oomph.

I have an 128gb ssd i was planning to use for the system, i updated the HDD to a WD green 1tb. i have been balling with the idea of a 4970k or a 5820k and what ive read so far the 5820k would be more bang for the buck.

Any tips on a PSU?

You may want to up your Mobo to an ATX size rather then the Micro ATX you have selected, the MATX will fit but it will look a bit silly with a tiny mobo in a bigger case.  I would also add an SSD, high end system like this it's kinda a shame not to have one.  Like someone else suggested 16gb of ram could come in handy, you can drop down to 1600-1866mhz ram to save money, the difference between 1600 and 2400 is really minor, Linus has a video on this I believe. The AIO cooler you have selected is great, but if you can get a Swiftech H220x or 240x I'd suggest that, they are a bit more expensive but you can Expand the Loop to add in more Radiators, or even a GPU block.
