Since me last question, I have made many amendments to my build. Can you guys help me find out if everything supports and does not bottleneck and possibly help me improve on it?

CPU: FX8370 black edition
PSU: corsair RM1000
GPU: 2 way GTX 970 STRIX
Motherboard: Asrock fatal1ty 990FX killer
RAM: Kingston HyperX FURY 8GB Kit(2x4GB)
Storage: WD green 2TB
CPU cooler: Noctua NH-D14
OS: Windows 8.1
Case: Sentey Gs-6011 blade

The only thing I can suggest is to maybe go with the Caviar blue (Budget) or Black series drives rather than the Green. The green's are the supposed power saving versions and are probably not the best choices for a gaming machine if you don't want to experience performance lags.

Use of an SSD, while not strictly applicable to gaming performance, might be a nice alternative too.

You might also want to add at least one, preferably two, top case fans as that case only comes with a single 120mm front and 120mm rear, not much cooling for an overclocked FX8 with SLI cards. Two 120mm top fans can be installed and it would dramatically help with cpu and gpu cooling.

Yep I am installing the optional fans into the case. BTW is it possible to get 2 WD Blue drives and connect them to make them 2TB?
