Just wanna get some feed back on what I could add, subtract, or multiply to make this build better. (Budget 1500-1600)

Also if you feel there is a better one for me to buy that will do the job better for cheaper, I'm all ears!

1)Get a Z97 board since you are getting unlocked processor, else don't get a K processor if you are not going to nor are planning to overclock

2)Get a R9 390 since it outperforms the 970 at higher than 1080p resolutions

Why do you have two differant monitors? Surly you would be better off with two the same?

- Get a Z97 board to overclock that unlocked CPU

- I'd pick a Samsung EVO SSD instead, but I guess yours would do fine.

- Monitor choice is kinda personal, but I like IPS panels more for the better colors.

Like above, Z97. 

 

Also I'd suggest a G1, or 390. But definitely  G1 for 970.
