Hi everyone, I'm building my first gaming PC and I'm worried whether my built below would be compatible / suitable and run at its full potential.

I plan to run most games on Ultra settings and I don't plan to overclock. (Games i'm planning to play are GTA V on maximum settings, dota 2 , CS:GO)

Sorry, I'm a noob when it comes to computers and any advise on my built would be helpful.
Thanks :)

My built :

Intel i5 - 4690
Asus GTX 970 Strix
Asus H97 - Pro Gamer (MOBO)
Hyper X 8GB RAM
Western Digital 1 TB HDD
120GB SSD
Cooler Master GX750 PSU

I have a few questions regarding my built :

1) Would i need a CPU cooler for my built? I'm thinking of the Cooler Master Hyper T4

2) Any recommedations for PC case for my built? I'm worried the CPU cooler might be too big to fit into some cases and the Asus GeForce GTX 970 4GB STRIX Graphics Card is 280mm long. Both of which may block drive bays for some pc cases

3) Is it worth upgrading my processor to an Intel i7 - 4790 instead? As i may plan to do streaming in the future.

4) Are all the above parts compatible with each other and will the above built meet my requirements (Games on ultra settings)


 
The stock cooler is sufficient enough but if you want a better cpu cooler then you need to check if the cpu cooler can fit in the case.
Case is pretty much subjective, find one you like and see if the parts fits. You can remove the drive bays to fit your card.
For streaming the i7 4790 would help but it is up to you to decide if you gonna spend more for the i7 4790.
