Hello tomshardware people!
I have this build I made that I need help making as good as possible. Please keep the price under 900$. Any input as to how to make it better would be greatly appreciated. I would also appreciate if someone could tell me how well it will run games.

Also, anything that brings the price down without affecting performance is definitely good. I also need help choosing a CHEAP case.

yep good choice on the PSU, Now you have the perfect build.

I said you get a 750w, because 500 is not really enough to power those parts. And with 750w you can use it in the future aswell, so like maybe 2 years later you want to buy another GTX970, and run both 970s at the same time for double the power :), and if you want to overclock that CPU aswell. So you have that extra power when you need it :)

everything is perfect, but get a more powerfull power supply, like a 750w. :).

That the only thing you need to change, the power supply 750W. :)
this system is beast, really good parts. you will get awesome frames in games man.

in GTA you will get 60fps ultra, and BF4 you will get like 80fps :)

Great build, just the power supply change it :)
