Heyo,

I recently put together a parts list to assemble a nice solid mid rang gaming pc. Although, im having second thoughts on the parts i picked! I went to pcpartpicker.com and it told me all the parts were applicable but im just not sure if these parts will give me the performance i want. Heres my Build!

Case: Corsair 100r window

CPU: Intel Core i5-4690k Devils Canyon 3.5 GHz Quad-Core Processor

Graphics Card: MSI GeForce GTX 970 4GD5T OC Video Card

Memory: HyperX FURY (1 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3

Hard Drive: WD Blue 1TB Desktop Hard Disk Drive - 7200 RPM SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5 Inch

Motherboard: MSI MSI Gaming Z97 GAMING 5 LGA 1150 Intel Z97 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (32/64)

Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA 750 B1 110-B1-0750-VR 80+ BRONZE 750W

CPU Cooler: Default CPU cooler (investing in a water cooler)

Case Fan: Corsair Air Series AF120 LED 120mm Quiet Edition High Airflow Fan Twin Pack - White

Optical Drive: ASUS DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS Black SATA 24X DVD Burner - Bulk - OEM

Please If you have anything that I should add or you see something im missing let me know! This is my very first build keep in mind, im pretty fresh at this!

Why are you looking at prior generation parts? It would be fine, but you would be better off with current generation parts.

MB + CPU - Look toward the i5-6600k and the Z170 chipset.
CPU COOLER - Skip water cooling. It is expensive and won't do a better job than a good air cooler.
MEM - Always install memory modules in matching pairs to take advantage of the dual memory controllers. A single module will have you in single channel mode (reduced performance).
CASE - The 100r won't fit long GPUs over 275mm.
PSU - The EVGA B1 is a pretty weak unit. From EVGA look toward the G2 lineup, or look toward XFX or Seasonic. Light reading => www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

For 60fps@all-maxed-out settings at 1080p it is recommended to get RX 480 4GB or GTX 1060 6GB. GTX 1070 is considered "overkill" for 1080p and is more often used at 1440p gaming at ultra settings. But i agree with the 1070 since having it in the system would be much more future-proof allowing to play all newest titles at 60fps@Ultra presets for like 3 years for sure at 1080p. If you have the money, go for 1070, if you don't 1060 will also do the job.
You should also notice that with 1070 your system can be called "high-end" and not the mid-range anymore :D

EDIT: I also agree with this whole build sadams04 recommends +1
