Hi there, Tom, or whoever you may be.
Getting ready to build a PC for gaming, and these are my current plans. I'd like you to look over it, as you are probably all much more tech-wise than I'll ever be..
Anyway, here goes:

CPU: i5-4690K 3.5GHz Quad-core
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master 212 EVO
GPU: GTX 970 (ASUS, MSI, Gigabyte, Palit?)
Mobo: MSI Z97 PC Mate
RAM: Crucial 8GB
HDD: WD Caviar Black 1TB 3,5" 7200RPM
Power Supply: Seasonic M12II-620
Case (current): Apevia X-Jupiter-Jr G-type Mid Tower
OS: Windows 8.1

So, let me know what you think.
Thanks in advance for your help!

I'd actually suggest upgrading the motherboard if possible, the PC Mate is a budget board, so the components are pretty low quality.

Something like the ASRock Z97 Extreme4 or the ASUS Z97-A would be my suggestion.
