unless your going to do crazy overclocking with lots of cooling the intel is more worth your money with that high of a budget

Word of caution too, don't assume PCPartPicker shows best prices on everything. For instance the above build is speced pretty well, but Newegg beats the price on the CPU cooler and the GPU, which were the only two items I checked.

Also if you sign up for their email subscriber deals, you'll often find even better prices.

I don't suggest the Strix because it performs poorly against other 970 configs and apparently has coil whine issues. Might I suggest the Galax 970 EXOC Black Edition? Cheaper, more powerful, quieter, and is an OC beast to say the least. http://galaxstore.net/GALAX-NVIDIA-GeForce-GTX-970-EXOC-Black-Edition-4GB_p_34.html
