Any plans of high resolution gaming? like 1440p? If not then this build is great for 1080p gaming.
I'd get some better RAM for same price. Instead of 1600 CL9, how about 1866 CL8. Better in every way.
Next, PSU, go for 750W in case you SLI in future.
Last, suggest a different case.

Akhlys :
LOVE you guys. evry 1 of u striving to make the world a better place without goddamn bottlenecks. 
Keep up the good work!!!
Keep up the good work!!!
The system I listed will allow for 2x970. Enough power and good mobo. If you have the budget get a SSD. 120GB is a minimum but 250gb is sweet. Samsung has been killing it in SSDs lately, 2014-now. Check out a 850 EVO or 840 EVO.
As for HDD. Seagate or Western Digital? I own WD but not to say I wouldn't buy Seagate. Just make sure to get a 7200rpm HDD like WD Blue. (WD Green is only 5400rpm)
