I am so damn nervous, almost ready to start ordering parts!!!

Can any of you guys give me ANY suggestions, tips or anything for my current parts?!
If you could only answer just 1 question from the green ones bellow I would be so happy!!


CPU Intel Core i7-4790K (4.00GHz) - £210

GPU MSI Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 (4GB) - £220.00

RAM x2 Kingston HyperX Fury (DDR3 - 1800MHz - 8GB) - £120.00

Motherboard Gigabyte Z97X-Gaming 3 (4 DDR3 - 4 USB3 - 10 USB2 - SATA ports) - £87.00
Will this motherboard fit into my case??

Case Corsair CC-9011049-WW Obsidian Series 450D Windowed Mid-Tower ATX (56.6 x 28.4 x 56.1 cm) - £92.00
Will this fit everything????

PSU Corsair CX750M (750 Wats + ATX12V) - £50.00
Will this fit and is it an overkill?

Cooler Hyper 212 EVO - £22.00
Is this right? I should be able to fit this on top of my CPU right???

Extra Fans Corsair AF140 Quiet Edition - £10.00
Can this case take more fans? I'm worried about the heat since it doesn't look so well spaced (the case)??
_______________________________________________________________________
SSD Hard Drive Samsung 840 EVO-Series (250GB - SATA III) - £80.00

Cable SSD CABLE (SATA III - 6GBps) - £2.00
Do I need these??

Case SSD Case (2.5 Inches - 3.5 Drive Bay) - £5.00
Do I also need the drive bay?

HDD Hard Drive Seagate Barracuda Internal Bare Drive ST1000DM003 (1TB - 3.5 inches - 7200RPM - SATA) - £34.00
_______________________________________________________________________
Optical Drive Samsung 24x Retail SATA DVD Writer - £13.00

Yes, I play it the safe way :)

Apart from the questions, what do you think of the build? Is it of good quality? Before starting to pick parts I had almost no clue what everything was...

1) Yes, the motherboard will fit.
2) Yes, the case will fit everything.
3) It will fit, not really overkill, but get a unif from SeaSonic or XFX, or Tier 1, 2, or 2b from this list.
4) CPU cooler is great.
5)The case can take more fans, but temps should be fine.
6) nope, motherboard comes with a couple extra.
7) nope, case has SSD mounts.

What's the build for? I would get a single kit of 2x8gb of ram, instead of two seperate kits of 1x8gb modules.

1. Yes that motherboard will fit in that case.
2. Yes the Hyper 212 will fit in the case and is compatible with your motherboard.
3. Joseph is right. You should choose a better PSU. Pretty much any Seasonic, and XFX are very good. EVGA Supernova's are also excellent PSU's.

The parts all seem like good quality. If you tell me your budget, I might be able to get you slightly better components for the price.

Thank you!!!

The build is for gaming and heavy work like video editing or heavy software use. I do intend to get single kit of 2x8GB ram and not 2 kits.I will get a new PSU and update the thread today..!

Thank yo for your suggestions! I will change the powersupply!
My budget is 1800$ BTW, the maximum is 1300£ which is ~1900$ but I hope I don't need to reach that cost to get what I want. (I was planning on getting 3 monitors but it turns out to be too expensive)
