Switch to a 4690k and Z97 board, and get a 390 or 390x instead of the 970 and you'll be good to go!

I will use it for Gaming, School work. I would prefer keeping the i7. Im still thinking about whether I will be overclocking my PC as my budget is tight.

Personaly I would change the PSU.

I prefer lower power usage as I can get a cheaper PSU.

I think that overclocking will degrade the cpu lifespan, so that's why I'm still thinking about overclocking.
