Yea,it's an awesome build.I have a few suggestoins:
1. Change to 970 Chipset motherboard to a 990 chipset motherboard.ASUS M5A99X EVO or Gigabyte 990FXA UD3 are awesome choices. :)
2. Change the PSU to a XFX TS 550W,as this EVGA isn't great quality.It's not bad,but for that kinda build,you need quality components.
3. Change the PSU to a FX-8320.It's $50 cheaper than the 8350 and it is enough for your build.
4. By changing the PSU to the FX-8320,you have much more options for a better GPU.Sapphire R9 280 or Gigabyte GTX 760 are excellent choices.
5. Finnaly,combining everything I said,here's the build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/zrHKsY
Hope this helps. ;)

Stronger cpu for gaming, emites less heat, stronger gpu at the cost of case optic.
