You don't have a CPU planned for your build so that's going to problematic. Here's my attempt:

I've swapped out the 2TB HDD for a much cheaper 1TB, unless you're planning to be storing a ton of stuff on your computer and also swapped out the CPU cooler for a much cheaper solution. Swapped the 970 for a Sapphire 390 that has arguably the best aftermarket cooler and is much faster. Give us a budget and I might be able to get you an even better build.

'Fanboyism is stupid' - someone on this forum.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.
