Everything looks great here actually, the only thing I would do is making it 2x4 GB RAM. That's just a personal preference though, and the price tag is basically unchanged.

you don't really see any benefit from running dual channel, especially with a discrete GPU, and this way you can add another stick later to upgrade.

around 840$

 

Maybe someone can suggest something to lower the price a bit.

 

You can also buy a open box on newegg, GTX 970.

Since you need OS /wireless card, nvm go with FuzzyYellow Suggested.
