No everything looks really good just what generation do you want id get the 6th gen. apart from that everything is really good

what is it used for? if it is not for editing you don't need such an expensive CPU and maybe you can get a better GPU

For the love of god do not buy a 2tb seagate. Get a hitachi or western digital. Far, far greater reliability.

 

Swap the 970 for a 390, same price, better all around everything in terms of performance, and more than double the vram.

Well my suggestion would be a bit similair, but with a higher end PSU, and a less expensive motherboard that can still run dual GPUs, the build is made with dual GPUs in mind down the road if you upgrade to a 4k monitor.

But either way get the 390 over the 970 for sure
