This is my build, I have it all in my cart ready to check out, and I thought I'd get some last minute feedback in case I missed anything:
PCPartPicker part list: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/h8yfzy
Price breakdown by merchant: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/h8yfzy/by_merchant/
CPU: Intel Core i5-4690 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor ($214.00 @ NCIX US)
Motherboard: MSI Z97 PC MATE ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($91.55 @ Amazon)
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1866 Memory ($89.89 @ OutletPC)
Storage: Samsung 850 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive ($89.99 @ Amazon)
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($49.99 @ NCIX US)
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 970 4GB ACX 2.0 Video Card ($329.99 @ NCIX US)
Case: Phanteks Enthoo Pro ATX Full Tower Case ($98.99 @ NCIX US)

Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 OEM (64-bit) ($88.88 @ NCIX US)
Total: $1123.27
I posted my original build here, and on r/buildapc, and I've changed a few things based on the great feedback I've gotten from both communities.
In this new build, I've changed my CPU from the "K" model I had because I have no interest in overclocking. I changed my RAM and the motherboard because the RAM was @ 2133, and the motherboard supported only up to 1600. Now, the RAM is at 1866, which is supported by the motherboard. I upped my PSU to Gold, and my SSD to 256GB.
Everything will be purchased through NCIX, but I switched some of the retailer in the write-up to indicate where I got price-drops for various components.
Is there anything that I missed? Any potential bottlenecking or weak links in my build? Are all my components generally well made and reliable? This build is pretty much exclusively to play games (like Skyrim and Fallout:NV with a hundred mods, texture packs and ENBs, and newer ones like Witcher 3, Far Cry 4, hopefully Phantom Pain and Fallout 4, etc.) Will I be able to do this at 1080p60fps?
Thank you guys for all of your help, both last time, and this time! I'm really looking forward to getting this rig.
