It's good. ASUS Z97-A and gigabyte gaming 5 (z97) are the best mobos for z97 for a good price IMO. Don't know what your budget is but if you can try to switch out your GPU to a 280. 280 will max out most games with no issues. 270x will play most games on high. For a gaming/streaming build, this will do its purpose jsut fine. Just consider changing mobos/GPU

Looks good. I would personally either drop the SSD or spend less on an SSD, and same for the heatsink, and get a better graphics card.

You could get either a cooler master 212 evo heatsink and save 50$, and drop the SSD to a smaller one and upgrarde to a 280/280x or similar.

I think your choice of components is great but depending on the games you play the 270x will bottleneck you.
