This is the link to my build . Note i chose a Thermaltake Case Level 10 GTS Snow case , can you please inform me if everything is compatible and all the better changes i can make ? I am using this pc for gaming ( CS:GO mainly and minecraft ) . And do i need a cooling fan other than the one i have chose ? Thank you .

MB - Overkill, but nice! Changed to an ASUS Z97 board with WiFi built in.
MEM - High latency. Keep the latency on DDR3-1600 at or below CL9. DDR3-1866 at / below CL10
PSU - No CX / CS / Builder series from Corsair. Stick with XFX or Seasonic.
CASE - Changed to the Corsair 300R
WiFi - Removed.

i updated the link and forgot to put the 2 Tb hdd , is the 970 better than my actual one ?

_s1ntaX_ :

Slightly quicker, and less power consumption and heat output. Both are good options, but if you can stretch the budget the GTX 970 is a great option.

The Thermaltake Case Level 10 GTS Snow will be fine. Overpriced, but a good case...
