mobo - if it fits, it sits.
cooler - "I WONDER WHERE YOU HEARD RECOMMENDATIONS"
cpu - powerful enough to power the 970. really nice at video editing.
memory - unless its a $300 build, i do see 8GB as a minimum these days.
storage - dont need anything more than that for a gaming PC these days. a SSD or a bigger 2TB drive would be nice, (and 2TB is just 20 bucks more than 1TB), but if you're on a budget, its a good fit.
GPU - nothing to say here. nice choice, will run anything on ultra setting.
PSU - I HATE people showing me lists with CX series supplies. Im happy that you chose i good quality one.
case - if you like the looks, get it.

overall, i'd give it a 8.5/10, because no SSD (but whatever), and 4GB of ram.

That motherboard is not a good choice with that cpu. The boards has weak uncooled vrms and will likely cause the cpu to throttle under load. I suggest swapping it for a better 970 board like the Gigabyte ud3p, msi gaming or krait, or asrock fatality 970. You are also going to want 8gb of ram 4gb will hold you back. If the extra cost is too much drop the 970 for a 290(one with a non reference cooler). 5/10 due to potential problems with the motherboard and not enough ram.
