This build is 30 bucks cheaper and has the same storage and a gtx 980 ti , no you don't have the m.2 drive but you have a GPU that will last longer then the 970 IMO money better spent.
You build is good but money spent in other places would give you a longer time before replacing the GPU and the option to go to a 1440P + rez
For a gaming build id drop the 256gb SSD and invest the saved money in a higher gpu but that's just me. Your spending about the same on SSD's as your GPU?
I'm going to use the 256gb SSD to store my operating system on. The 500gb SSD is for everything else. I don't use a lot of space for storage. I feel 500 will be plenty for now. I can always get more. As for the video card... gosh I can't imagine spending $650 for the 980ti. I feel the 970 should do me fine. Even if I dropped the 256gb SSD, I'd still need another $110. It's just too much.

As I said that's just me, your build is very good and sure you will enjoy it
For whatever reason, HAF 912 cases have been horribly overpriced recently. It's actually more expensive right now than the HAF X on Amazon, which is a bigger case and is better in pretty much every way. Please ditch that unless you really want to pay more for less.
Something more modern (and nicer to look at) to take into consideration is the Phanteks Enthoo Pro and Luxe cases, which are really nice and are a great value compared to that 932 you selected.
You know that Luxe case is pretty sweet. If I wasn't so hell bent on having 200mm fans, one being a side fan, I'd consider that Luxe. I like the outer lights too. Thanks for informing me of that DoubleTake. As for the 932 vs the HAF X, I'm going for the HAF X, thank you again good sir!

Niklas_13 thank you for your input. After much debate with myself, I ended up saying "the hell with it" and purchased the MSI GTX 980ti. I've been waiting over a decade to build my dream machine and get back into gaming on the PC. I'm very excited. Thank you guys for your help and effort you've made. Cheers.
