You don't need a CLC kit and an ROG motherboard, nor Corsair Vengeance Pro RAM, nor a Platinum efficiency PSU. ACX 2.0o coolers have some sort of a heatpipe problem, so better to avoid them right not.

I like this build above but In would change the 970 to a gigabyte or MSI card (the ASUS one has some problems) and I would get the Phanteks Enthoo Luxe at that price range (I have the 750D and its just not competitive at that price point anymore.

This would be more future proof leaves 500 bucks for the monitor, keyboard, mice, enough power to add another 970 card in the future if needed.

The i7 4790k is good enough and you could easily get dual 970's for that price point. You also should not get the Sennheiser headphones as they are very difficult to drive. I would recommend getting headphones with a lower impedance.

Don't get the Corsair CX750. Get a SeaSonic, XFX, or EVGA SuperNOVA 750w or greater.can you explain a bit about psu's because i dont know what makes one psu better than the other
The Corsair CX series uses cheap Chinese capacitors which don't tolerate stressful heat and load situations. For that reason, the CX750 is not recommended for high-end builds. Here's a better one:
