Nice storage choice. Any reason on choosing Windows 7 Professional? It will no longer be supported by next year, and i think your not supose to get free Windows 10 buying the 7 now. Probably wrong tough. Still, Windows 7 is an extremely odd choice, and is actually worst than Windows 10 in performance and features offered, for todays standards.

[GDRRiley]

get a SSD and windows 10 and you will be set.

Like the others said, I wouldn't recommend Windows 7. It was nice and cool, but it's just out dated and has dying support for it, Microsoft trying to kill off 7, and even 8.1 as fast as possible (see what i did there?) to make everyone go to Windows 10.

[nskceaj]

Should get and SSD, Windows 8.1. ( Buy it on ebay or reddit to allow you to put more Money into your Parts ). 390 is better then the 970, no ?

[Stardar1]

I would recommend you get a nicer H97 board. Nothing wrong with that board (I have it), but you can get one with a worse chipset (it is a locked CPU) and more features like SLI and M.2

[ClonicMechanics]

I was thinking about getting 8 then switching to 10 but I've had 7 for a while and I just don't feel ready to drop it and I want the 970 because of the power cummsection and video editing features and I plan to get a better CPU later

[ClonicMechanics]

And I think the sshd is going to be good for now and I'll add a ssd later

[ClonicMechanics]

And maybe this

mobo

instead

[shadowbyte]

looks good

Switch the 970 for a 390

maybe get a 1tb hdd and a 120/240gb ssd?

 

[aeroencychris]

Case?

You don't need a 650W PSU unless you want to SLI, in which case buy an SLI board.

No need for Z97 unless you plan to upgrade later.

[zberry7]

Not bad, If you don't already have one I agree with shadowbyte.. Get an SSD, going from a traditional HDD to an SSD is a great experience and theyre not overly expensive now adays. I actually think the 970 is a solid graphics card for your monitor.

[Trav_X]

I would suggest getting a smaller hard drive if you don't plan on literally putting your entire library of games and some multimedia stuff on your PC. As well, I would suggest getting a boot SSD like a 120/240/256 GB drive for like Boot and maybe something else on it. 

 

As well, Z97 is not necessary for a "technically" not overclock able chip. You could get like H97 or something I don't really know LGA 1150 chipsets.

 

If you want more value you could get a 380x or 390 instead of a 970, although I personally prefer NVIDIA, but it is your choice.

I switched the motherboard to an H97 since you won't be overclocking that CPU.  Also switched hard drives to give you an SSD for your boot drive (it's amazing how much faster this makes a system feel).  For 1080p this card is perfect in my opinion, and it'll manage for 1440p if you decide to upgrade monitors.

I don't know if you just forgot to list it, or if you forgot about it but are you planning on getting RAM for that build, I also agree with zberry7 and shadowbyte on getting an SSD it makes regular simple tasks seem so much better.

I all ready own the hybrid drive which has a ssd built in and sense I'm a first Time builder i wanted things to upgrade in the future where I wouldn't haft to buy a new mobo later and the power supply is for when I want to upgrade to a 980ti

[ClonicMechanics]

I'll worry about 1440 when I have 980ti

[ClonicMechanics]

I picked the 970 for video editing and I would like to have the space for storing
