Case:nzxt phantom 410
Motherboard: asus z97 pro(wifi ac)

Gpu: gtx 970 sli
Ram: 8gb DDR3 1133mhz
Power supply: 1000watt
Fan cooler: cooler master hyper evo 212
Hard drive 2to 6gb/s and 500 gb ssd
I want to be sure that all will work together and I'm not sure about the fans I don't get in it

As you have a Z97 an Hyper Evo 212 I guess you want to OC? if you do you need a 4690K not the normal 4690

Go for 2 sticks of 4Gb DDR3 1600mhz or 1866mhz for optimal performance.

Ensure to buy a high quality PSU however 750w would be enough but I like to leave headroom so I would aim for 850w, 1000w is way overkill

Apart from that good to go

Looks good. Are you planning on overclocking? If not get a h97 motherboard with i5-4460, otherwise you are paying extra for good overclocking products which you don't need. If you are overclocking, get an i5-4690k. You should also go for 1600mhz RAM. Which PSU are you getting? It's important to pick a high quality one.

Also, are you sure you want to SLI? It is not unproblematic, it requires patience and perserverence to get it running, and you may get problems with certain games. I would highly recommend spending that money on the best single GPU you can buy instead of getting 2.
