If you don't want to OC (It is free performance but whatever) get 4690 (non "K") if it is cheaper (if not you can get "K") and some cheap H81 or B85 or H97 MBO to save money (check if the have USB3 headers)

If you dont want to overclock, you NEED to change this build.

Is also important to know which resolution are you planning to use.

You could save a bit of money by swapping that hard drive for a non-enterprise version. 2TB should run around $70 or so (although idk prices in Denmark). The case you have picked out comes with a 200mm fan, so no need to order one unless you are planning to replace it. Could also save a little on getting a semi-modular PSU instead of fully modular (unless you plan on getting custom cables or doing them yourself). The downside is most semi-modular will only be 80+ Bronze efficiency, but really not a big deal unless you're building a mining farm.

Good build,but I would not get the strix 970 since it's a poor overclocker.

Perfect, just one thing I would change, i5-4690 instead of the i5-4690k if is cheaper where you are going to buy, he doesnt need K edition.

Oh, you said already. Then ops.

Also personally I would go for WD instead of Seagate.

mine is sitting at 1500mhz. Might have got lucky though. idk.

 

I personally choose the Asus 970 for it's single 8pin power connector. Instead of every other 970 needing 8pin + 6pin. More wires. EW!

You got lucking because most chips need the extra power.
