For compatibility, you can go to pcpartpicker.com, a website that tells you if your parts are compatible or not.

 

For the SSD, you can get a Samsung 850 EVO 250gb SSD, which is better than that Kingston one.

 

You don't need such a high wattage psu if you are just using one gpu. A 650 or 750 watt psu will be good.

 

And what are you going to use that pc for? Those parts are overkill if you are just gaming on it. 

 

i5 4690k | MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G | Swiftech H240-X | MSI Z97s SLI Krait Edition | Corsair Vengeance Pro 8gb ( 2x4gb ) | Corsair RM750 | Samsung 850EVO 250gb SSD & WD Caviar Blue 1tb HDD | Fractal Design Define R5

If your going to be mainly gaming no need for a i7 5820K, get a i5 6600k.

 

You are spending a boat load in a PSU you will never need, 1200W is overkill even for SLI setups, get 650W and save up money to get a better graphic card like a 980ti (which you will be able to afford with a i5).

That looks like a sweet build. Looks like you will have a couple open drive bays on the front of your case you can use for card readers or optical drives and such.

 

Might I recommend one of these? - https://www.thinkgeek.com/stuff/41/ezbake.shtml

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/6RBzbv here's one with an i5 6600k instead of an i7. Spend the extra money on some decent Monitors
