Hey Everybody ! I've been working on building a computer for gaming and drawing, it's my first one so it's a bit hard to do alone...Would you take a look at my idea for a build ? That would really help me a lot :

CPU: Intel Core i5-4690K 3.4GHz
CPU Cooler: NZXT Kraken X60 98.3 CFM ( Liquid CPU Cooler )
Motherboard: Asus Z87-PRO ATX LGA1150
Memory: G.Skill Ares Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866
Storage: Samsung 840 Pro Series 256GB 2.5
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB 3.5
Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 970
Power Supply: Corsair Professional 750W 80 PLUS Gold Certified ATX12V / EPS12V
Optical Drive: Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD
Case : Cooler-master HAF-X / NZXT phantom 820
Price ; around 1500$

Do you think there's something i could improve ? I'm able to go up if it's necessary because games are my job but not far up from 2000$ ( i'm just a student ). And would you be able to tell me an advice for the case ? Well, thanks for your answers !
