Hello guys:)..I'm trying to do my first PC Gaming build..after days of youtube videos an looking on forums here's what I come up with..:)

- ASUS MAXIMUS VII HERO, Sockel 1150, ATX
- Intel i7-4790K Core Prozessor (4.00 GHz, Max. Turbo 4.4 GHz, Sockel 1150, 8M Cache, 88Watt)
- ASUS NVIDIA GeForce Strix GTX 970 4GB GDDR5
- Corsair Vengeance Pro Red 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3 12800) CL9
- Corsair Hydro Series H75 120mm
- Corsair CX Series 600Watt Modular 80 PLUS Bronze
- Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7200rpm
- Samsung 840 EVO SSD 250GB, 512MB Cache, SATA III
- Microsoft Windows 8.1 Pro 32 / 64

So What Do You Think???:)
This PC cost somewhere around 1500 £/€ and I don't what to spend more.. :)
 
Solution
600 is enough however I suggest you go with a Cosair RM series or a seasonic gold or platinum instead of the entry level cx
Are you going to be overclocking? If not, you could save alot of money on that build. Also, i7's don't help much with gaming over an i5, maybe 2fps more from the benchmarks I have seen. Next, you should go with a power supply from XFX or Seasonic. No need to risk frying such a nice pc with a iffy power supply. Protect your investment. Lastly, gaming only demands 8GB of ram. Any more than that is overkill at this time. To that note, get a Z97 series motherboard so you can run DDR4 memory.

I will not be overclocking..because it's bad for the components..I want to go with the i7 for the future and the motherbaord is a z97 (Asus ROG Maximus VII Hero Gaming Mainboard Sockel 1150 ATX, Intel Z97, 4x DDR3..that's what it says on amazon :)and I will use crossfire/SLI, in the future

I would say yes....if you're not going to overclock. As i can see A has a sli support and the only thing that maximus has in advantage is the good mobo cooling for overclocking. ( the big, black, red "heatsinks" on top and left of the cpu socket )

Your build looks good... Consider getting a better power supply if your budget allows you too.
