or

from amazon.in 75k inr


Now i want to ask:

1.Will these go fine together?(are they compatible with eachother)
2.Do i need to add any cooling etc or any other parts missing?
3.Also if i get another 970 in future would i need to change my psu ? or should i go for 650watt one?
4.can i add a ssd(on top of current hdd) in future with this setup?
5.if want to oc will the current setup hold up ?
Thanks :)
(PCpartpicker sellers have lower price than what is available here so 826$ = 75k inr (1140$) here)

The psu is of poor build quality. Get a different psu instead (more on that below). The Corsair VS psu might cause problems.

If you want to OC, get an aftermarket CPU cooler like Cooler Master Hyper 212 evo. Stock cooler is no good for oc.

Your motherboard is Z97 chipset based, but your cpu is not unlocked. Get an H97 motherboard if you can find it cheaper, for the locked CPU. Else, get an unlocked multiplier cpu. You say you want to OC, which means you are better off getting an unlocked CPU anyway.

If you want to get another GTX 970 in future, you need at least a 750W psu. EVGA 750 B2 will be a solid choice. If you can spend more, get EVGA 750 G2. If you don't plan to stick another GPU in there, get an EVGA G2 650 or GS 650 which...

Yes, you can get an SSD in future with this setup.
