i would stick with Nvidia unless you are set on AMD, nvidia (970)has better driver, software and overclocking is superior

 

other than that all looks fine

I'd go with a Sapphire 290, most reviews have them on top. Vapor x runs the coolest. And you'll want to get a cooler asap, my 4690K ran at 71c under load with the stock cooler, sits at 61c under full load while OC to 4.6GHz after installing a H105.

If anyone asks you never saw me.

I have very similar spec to your build, listed in my profile. I have no need to OC the 290. It maxes everything I play. Runs at a peak temp of 72c at full load.

If anyone asks you never saw me.

Depending on the region the bang to buck is that extream but in most the 290 and 390 SMOKE the 970. No fanboyism, if I had the cash I'd have a 980ti. Just how it is.

i am not focused, it just has better features and performance to the price

 

but if you would rather AMD, go for it!!!

This is a pretty good side by side, the 290 runs about 50USD less than the 970, depending on the model.

The 970- is more contestant, and comes with better software

 

again pick what you will

 

but i know what i would choose
