I finally decided to buy new gaming PC.. I'm ignorant about PC building/parts. I need help on deciding which parts are good. I have idea of some parts that I want but please feel free to replace them if you can think of better build.. My budget is 1,550 US$.

Processor:
- Intel Core i5 4690K 3.5Ghz 6MB Haswell = 238$
Motherboard:
- MSI Z87-G45 GAMING - 6 X SATA3/SUPER CHARGER = 183$
Graphics Card:
- MSI gtx970 gaming 4g = 445$
Ram:
- Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600 MHz
(CMZ16GX3M2A1600C10) = 178$
Monitor:
- ASUS VE247H 23.6? WLED Monitor = 180$
Cooler:
- Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO CPU Fan = 31$

The total of these parts are already 1255$. I only have 300$ for Hard disk, PSU and case. I can't afford for SSD. I already have an OS. (I don't live in US, PC parts are higher in my country as you can see above)
