its best if you can wait, you wont need a new motherboard as pcie is a standard

 

about your build

Spoiler

1) you should consider getting an r9 390, its better than the 970

2) you should get a better PSU (in term of model), 500W is fine, but get 550~650W is you wanna overclock your gpu

 

-sigh- feeling like I'm being too negative lately

It looks fine to me but if you have a little bit more dosh to spend on the computer I would try to go for a "K" series CPU and a Z170 motherboard so that you can overclock in the future and get more performance out of the little beast in the future.

 

But @Moonzy said it best, PCie is a standard.
