If it's just gaming you don't need 16GB of RAM

You don't need a watercooler because you have a non OC CPU which don't get hot so a stock cooler will do fine

That PSU is overkill a 600W or 550W will do fine

I would go for a 390 over a 970

is a non oc cpu ok or no?

yes and no. if you do not care for spending time to over clock it then it is fine. it will not do much for your gaming if you over clock your cpu. for you it should just be fine

Like Pcinacan said, but if you do desire to overclock then I'd recommend trading the motherboard for this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157506 as well grabbing a 4690k (The two total to about the same price as your original motherboard + CPU combo)

oh ok

In my build I put 16GB in there for the heck of it since you have the money for it and you still have money left over. I also put a 4690k and Z97 board in there as well as a good CPU cooler so you can overclock it.

What if i wanted to do video recording and editing too?

A 4690k and 980ti will do that fine but you may want the extra threads of a 4790k. Totally up to you.

If he's gaming @ 1080p , a GTX 980 Ti is overkill IMO. I already get pretty decent FPS in games with a GTX 970 @ 1440p

Yes. It would perform much better than the i5-4660 especially when gaming and in video editing.

the 980ti is almost double the price of a 970. can i just do two 970's or is that over kill again?

Well if you're gaming at 1080p what I would do is buy a 980 and a new monitor (like either a second monitor or a larger 1440p/4K one) with the money left over and not a 980ti.

i was doing the water cooling cause i thought it would help with it staying cooler while i game. i tend to game for 4-6 hrs on days i work and 8+ hrs when im off 

Air cooling will still keep it cool. Water cooling is more dangerous, harder to keep clean and has no effect on a CPU where the mulitplier is locked.
