but isnt the 4970k+ 970 g1 good because i could do faster media encoding plus better gaming?

It would but you did put the emphasis on the gaming part of it.

if you go for that option get a 390 not 970

Pro Tip: don't use flash when taking pictures of your build; use a longer exposure instead. Prop up your camera with something (preferably a tripod) if necessary.

if you use retarded/autistic/etc to mean stupid please gtfo

Maybe something like this but I strongly suggest getting a new psu too.

It would be an upgrade.... a small one but still a decent one.  You could easily switch it out for another 970 and sli them however.  If you do that , I would definitely get a new power supply.  Something like a EVGA G2 750W would work very well.
