It's pretty good.

 

However get a different SSD and PSU

Get a different PSU. Like a EVGA GS or G2 series. The SSD is fine. The cooler may be overkill but it will,allow for some insane overclocks.

I'd get an r9 390 since it's just better then the GTX 970. Looks good though.

I'd recommend getting at least a 700W PSU to leave room for future upgrades if you're gonna be upgrading, which I imagine you will be. I have an 850W EVGA Supernova Bronze+ and it's completely silent and works great. I have SLI GTX 780's and 850W is plenty for my configuration. I'd also maybe try looking at another SSD. I got an Adata 256GB SSD off of amazon for $100. I'll try and find the link to see if it's still available.

Corsair PSUs aren't all that great. Especially the CX series, one of the worst. The EVGA PSU, specifically the EVGA g2 series is made by SuperFlower. So basically a rebrand, but that's not bad, corsair does this to, almost all PSU makers do it. Well,SuperFlower is basically one of the best if not they are the best PSU makers in terms of being reliable and efficient. I don't suggest CX series for high end pcs.

they're reliable and very silent. i can't really talk shit about other PSU brands because i've only ever used EVGA.
