I just bought the EVGA GTX 970 4Gb SC, i5 4690K, and NZXT Source 210 black case, after checking PC Part Picker it says that some of the drive bays may not be usable. I'm planning on getting a 1tb hard drive and an SSD so 2 driver bays would be taken up, can i still fit everything in there? Im stuck in a sticky situation and need help, can someone clarify this for me- I'm a first time pc builder so i hope you understand.
I also am looking for a motherboard that would be compatible but cant find anything that is, can anyone recommend me one that isn't too expensive- cheapest one would help :D
Here's my build:

I would highly appreciate the help :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

If this looks similar to your build, it might be ok (http://images10.newegg.com/BizIntell/item/11/146/11-146-075/006.jpg). Since the drive bays are facing the GPU rather than the side of the case it will block some of them, but judging by the picture there will be plenty leftover to put 2 drives in (if your case is the same as the one in the photo).

Also, just curious, why did you go with a 970, when you could get the 1060 for about the same amount of money and it outperforms it and has 6gb of vram?

I bought the gtx 970 used for only $200 from eBay and its probably the best deal ive ever made on ebay.
Do you think i should get it? but wouldnt the i5 4690k bottleneck it though?
