Hey guys,
I am planning on building my first ever pc,
preferably around 1600-1700$CAD including taxes and shipping.
I can go up to $2000
I'm using my own money so I don't want to go overboard.
I am planning on using this build for gaming, photoshop/illustrator, video editing, and for school.
Hoping to buy one next January, if prices are low, hopefully December.
Some of the parts I wish to have are:
-Intel Core i7-4790K
-I don't know if I should get a cpu cooler since I won't be overclocking until later years.
-I also don't know what motherboard to get, preferably any z97 though, if there are any not costly one with wifi and good sound, also support SLI (planning on getting extra video card later on)
-any good 16gb ram
-MSI Gtx 970
-1tb HDD
-Any opinion on what SSD card to get?
-How is EVGA SuperNOVA NEX 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply for a PSU?
-I also don't know what case to get, hoping to get one with fans included, good cable management, and 3.0 usb ports at the front, doesn't have to be too stylish
-I'm also planning on buying an OS, windows 8.1 preferably
-Do I need to get thermal paste? If so, any good ones?
-I am also planning on getting a new keyboard and mice that is good for gaming. what are good ones?
I'm open to any suggestion. Please give me opinions and suggestions on what parts to get! Thank you

If you guys have further suggestions on what to change, please go ahead! I do not plan to OC for a couple or so years so I did not add any cooler. Should I? I don't want to overheat my PC...What do you guys think?
