I would say if you evened it out you could get a 980 ti/ better than a 970 in there

well besides the little comparability note towards the bottom of the page it looks good ... i would suggest a corsair h100i but thats just my opinion

You should be able to get Windows from your school for free so that $100 can be allocated towards a better graphics card. If you step down to the i5 4690k, you'll be able to get a 980ti for a massive performance increase.
