As the title says, this will be my first time building my own PC. I'll only be using the PC for gaming and streaming, but before I get going with it, I'd like some advice, any suggestions, as well as any potential compatibility issues I might run into. Here's the build I have in mind:

CPU: Intel Core i7-4790k
Cooler: CM Hyper Evo 212
Motherboard: Asus Z97-A ATX LGA 1150
RAM: G.Skills Ripjaws X 8GB (2x4) DDR3 1600 mhz
SSD: Kingston SSDNow V300 Series 120GB 2.5"
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 970 4GB SSC ACX 2.0+
Case: Corsair carbide 500r ATX mid-tower
PSU: EVGA Supernova G2 750w
Optical Drive: Asus DRW-24F1ST DVD/CD Writer
Monitor: BenQ XL2420Z 144Hz 24.0"

Once it's all said it done, this build will cost me around $2000-$2200 CAD. Unfortunately canadians have it rough when it comes to building your own PC. I tried balancing quality parts while trying to be economical. Please let me know what you guys think!

Thanks for posting spooky2th! Would you say it's necessary though to get faster memory? How much of a difference will 2133 MHz memory make with regard to gaming/streaming? Is it a significant difference?
