G.Skill is great. It is on top with other companies like Corsair. Also, I own G,Skill too and love it. Never problems. But if I was buying RAM today I'd get at least 1600MHz CL9 or better.

Looks fine (i5 pairs better with a 970, i7 for 980 and SLI/Crossfire solutions), but do you already have the RAM leftover from an old machine? That's not a very good set, and 8 GB is probably going to be below recommended requirements in the near future.

Also I suggest a SSD for your operating system and swap file.

Agree with an SSD, but not with i7 for a 980. http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-2363050/4790k-gtx-970-4690k-gtx-980.html

Can you guys check and tell me if its all compatible and any changes are welcomed, some one else said that i7 and 970 dont go togather well? and isnt 970 a good enough gpu i thought it was the best right now since 980 cost $400 more for barely any more performence
