I'm going to be building a new PC for the first time and was wondering how good some of the parts I was looking at are or if I should be looking for something else.

Heat sink

Video Card
EVGA GeForce GTX 970 04G-P4-3975-KR 4GB SSC GAMING w/ACX 2.0+, Whisper Silent Cooling Graphics Card
RAM
G.SKILL Ripjaws 4 Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 2133 (PC4 17000) Memory Kit Model F4-2133C15D-8GRR

Power supply

for an optical drive I plan on just using one from one of my old PC

The Newton Power LTD N1000P was a good psu. It would be fine with a GTX970. It's just a little old now. I haven't seen one in 5 or 6 years at least.

-Go with the cheaper H170 board (though I prefer Gigabyte for mobos)

-The coolermaster heatsink will be good, although not entirely needed since you wont be overclocking.

-Video card is good

-I would suggest going with 16gb of ram since windows alone will eat up over 4gb

- You only need one traditional hard drive. If buying a new one, go with a western digital black series.
- The sandisk ssd is good. Have one of those myself.

- For the PSU, I would go with either SeaSonic (preferable) or Antec. You do not need a 1000W psu either. A good 650 or 750W seasonic will be more than enough. (The gpu requires 300, cpu is 95, the rest is trivial). http://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator
