I still need to find memory sticks, all this parts are the ones available to me in Colombia for a reasonable price, (we dont have great offer in high end pc parts, so...)

 

Since this is the first pc i will build myself im not sure  if everything is compatible and work well together,or if something else would be better for the same or lower price tag. Also any comment in general is really apreciated.

Btw im sry for any mistakes made with my english, since im not a native speaker.

before someone complains about gtx970 for high resolutions: (btw, theres a vram counter on screen)

 

other than that, swap out the cx with an evga g2, p2, gs, ps, or any seasonic or xfx unit.

its not that cx is terrible, its that you can do MUCH better for the same price.

A 390 is a better choice overall than a 970, more so for 1440p due to AMD cards in general doing better at higher resolutions, just throw in an SSD and you should be good to go, also turn off mail in rebates when searching, they almost never work, plus free-sync is cheaper than G-sync if you pick up one of those displays at some point.
