Hi guys

I'm new to building and am still working my way around the terminology. I recently got the following components. I haven't attempted to put them all together yet. Before I do, I wanted to check they will all work together. Here they are:

Gigabyte Z97P-D3 Motherboard
Radeon HD 6970
Corsair H100iGTX Cooler
16GB 1600 MHZ Corsair Vengeance RAM
INTEL CORE i7 Processor i7-4790k LGA 1150
OCZ MOD X STREAM-PRO 700W Power Supply
Samsung 1GB HDD 7200 RAM / 32M
Corsair C70 case

if anyone could verify that this will all work together I'd be very grateful indeed (all research so far indicates yes) . I'm also considering picking up an SSD. Any comments on if this would be worthwhile and any specific recommendations if so?

Thanks to everyone
