4690K would be better and they are practically the same price unless you found a very good deal on that 4670K.

That would be a very nice rig. I don't know what prices are by you, but the only thing I would change is the PSU. The cx series are not that great. Pretty much every other PSU Corsair makes is good though. The two you want to avoid is the builder series and the CX series. Brands that are very good though are Seasonic, XFX, Antec, and EVGA.

Following changes are suggested:

Change the CPU to 4690k as price 4690k and 4670k is same.

Change the PSU to Tier1/2(a)(b) category PSU. Seasonic/XFX/Antec series PSUs should be considered.

Grab HDD as well or if you want to use your current HDD with new build then no need for HDD.

Grab GTX 970 if it is available in your region or better wait for it to come.

Great. Go for EVGA without any doubt. EVGA has a very good customer support service. Plus their cards are of good quality with headroom for overclocking and they deliver right out of the box. Speaking from personal experience.
