First PC Build: Seeking Advice/Suggestions/Compatibility confirmation

[csgojoe]

As the title says, this will be my first time building my own PC. I'll only be using the PC for gaming and streaming, but before I get going with it, I'd like some advice, any suggestions, as well as any potential compatibility issues I might run into. Here's the build I have in mind:

CPU: Intel Core i7-4790k
Cooler: CM Hyper Evo 212
Motherboard: Asus Z97-A ATX LGA 1150
RAM: G.Skills Ripjaws X 8GB (2x4) DDR3 1600 mhz
SSD: Kingston SSDNow V300 Series 120GB 2.5"
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 970 4GB SSC ACX 2.0+
Case: Corsair carbide 500r ATX mid-tower
PSU: EVGA Supernova G2 750w
Optical Drive: Asus DRW-24F1ST DVD/CD Writer
Monitor: BenQ XL2420Z 144Hz 24.0"

Once it's all said it done, this build will cost me around $2000-$2200 CAD. Unfortunately canadians have it rough when it comes to building your own PC. I tried balancing quality parts while trying to be economical. Please let me know what you guys think!

It's all great from top to bottom. The ssd is probably the weakest link. It's not terrible, but you could do better by getting a Crucial or Samsung.

Thanks for posting CTurbo! Ya, I agree, I wasn't too excited about the SSD either. However I didn't want to spend too much money on a part that isn't really necessary to run a PC. It was either between getting that SSD or no SSD at all so I went with the former just because I've never had an SSD before.

But you only need to spend $10-15 more to get a proper ssd. That's not going to break you.

Wow, that's not bad at all. I really didn't put much research into finding a decent SSD, I didn't know where to start with them. Thanks for letting me know.
