Probably a little high on the budget for what you are asking.

New OS? (If you plan to sell or re-use the old system as a complete system)
Monitor?

Here's a quick one. Probably might want to shop around for some cases that suite your tastes. (Those GTX970 are available now, shockingly)

Stay away from cheap SSDs like the PNY Optima and the Kingston SSDNow - they don't have good data transfer rates and the only redeeming quality they have is the price.

I read game recording as potential video editing, so an i7 makes more sense here. Dual 980s, and even 970s, is a huge overkill for 1080p, One 970 or one 980 would be enough. Leaves plenty of budget for a 2560x1440 144Hz monitor with a 980 perhaps?

Yeah I think I'd agree if you're just going on 1080P. If you're going 1440P, Ultra Wide (2560x1080), or even 4K that's where the extra 980 would be warranted.
