Dear Forum Gurus,
I'm planning on buying a new pc for around $1000-$1100 for Christmas. In Q1-Q2 2015 I will be able to spend a bit more on it (more ram) and I have quite new storage and optical disk drive, thus it's not needed.
So key points:
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler ($33.03 @ Amazon)
Motherboard: ASRock Z97 EXTREME4 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($129.42 @ Newegg)
Memory: Crucial Ballistix Sport XT 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR3-1866 Memory ($75.94 @ OutletPC)
Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 970 4GB Twin Frozr V Video Card ($339.99 @ Micro Center)
Case: Fractal Design Define R4 Blackout ATX Mid Tower Case ($99.98 @ OutletPC)
Power Supply: Corsair 760W 80+ Platinum Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply ($184.99 @ Best Buy)
Total: $1063.34
PCPartPicker part list
I chose the power supply for its efficiency in the 320W-600W range, because according to the PCpartpicker estimate, purely the new parts will use over 300W-s. Is this correct?
Thank you for your answers!

So key points:
■ I don't need storage.
■ I don't need peripherals.
■ I don't need optical drive.
■ I plan on doing 2 way SLA in late 2015.
■ I will buy more RAM in early 2015.
■ I don't care about the aesthetics of the parts inside my case.
■Is the power supply optimal for this PC keeping in mind that I will overclock and that I'll have 2 SSD-s, 1 HDD and 2-way SLA later on?
■Are there any corners to cut in order to get a better PC but not spending more (shuffling).
