This is a way better build because the gtx 970 stomps on the gtx 750 ti. The i5-4690k is way better than the 4570 and you can easily overclock with this build.

Sorry about the late reply, that is just a myth, your system will be even more cool than a micro atx because the case has more space and airflow. The build I posted does not need a cooler as the stock coolers are plenty. If you need more cooling the cooler master sickleflow is a case fan for $3, buy 2 of those, one to suck out air and one to ventilate it and you got a cheap but effective cooling system for $6.
