Hello everyone,
I am in the process of building my very first gaming PC and would like to make sure that all of my parts are compatible and work well together before I buy/order any of them. If you guys could tell me if everything is compatible and/or give me some tips/improvements on cheaper and better components then please do. Here is a list of my components:

Case: NZXT Phantom 410
Motherboard: ASROCK Z97 Anniversary
CPU: Intel i5-4690K (As far as I know it comes with a cooler that works fine with it)
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 4GB (x2)
Graphics Card: Geforce GTX 970
Power Supply: XFX Core Edition 550W
Hard Drive: WD Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal
Solid State Drive: Samsung 850 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5"
Optical Drive: Lite-On iHAS124-04
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7

If you have any advice or tips please let me know!

Thank you.

Looks good and the stock cooler is ok for stock speeds but if you want to overclock your CPU you will need a better cooler. If you don't want to overclock then you can save some money on a non k CPU and H97 motherboard
