Variants of this build:
1) instead of the MSI z97 PC mate, get the MSI z97 SLI Krait edition for more features. https://pcpartpicker.com/part/msi-motherboard-z97sslikraitedition

2) the r9 290x runs hotter, and has less over locking capabilities than the GTX 970. However the GTX 970 has effectively only 3.5GB of VRAM, and you wont be able to max out games and have 50-60 fps.

The peripherals are all up to you.
