I'm about to build a new gaming rig and I'm trying to keep it at around $800 give or take. I've already got the case (Antec NineHundred), drives, monitor (1680x1050) and power supply (Corsair 750w) from a previous build. I've also got a keyboard and I'm planning on getting another Razer Deathadder for the mouse. My last one died after years of abuse lol. I'm trying to play games at high/max settings. After browsing a few threads with similar builds this is what I've come up with...

I don't really plan on overclocking too much which is why I went with the 970 mobo. I went with the 2133 memory because it is currently cheaper than the 1866 and I can always run it at that. My current total is at around $770. Is there anything I should switch/upgrade? Thanks for any help in advance!
