There really is no room in the budget without compromises to get an i5, 970 and SSD. That being said I would drop the SSD to keep this under $700. Here is my build in the budget range.

Your best bet is to research your own parts instead of simply taking whatever someone throws at you, then get some advice on what you've already got put together. Just my own 2 cents.

The power supply that is in your list is a low tier PSU. and the motherboard picked may require a bios update.

EDIT: Note: this is me updating your list, not creating a new build, I chose the MSI board as it was you chose an msi board I just went with a h97.
You probably could drop the CPU down to a 4460 and not notice much difference.
