I also need some help on what headset I should get. I will be using this miC to talk to friends while gaming, listening to music, and for youtube videos.

Razer Kraken 7.1 Chroma $100
Astro a40 Gen 2 $250
Razer Kraken Pro Neon Series $90

Are you overclocking because U have a locked cpu and a motherboard which allows U to overclock and an after market cpu cooler

From that list astros are the best, But are they worth $250 idk. find a headset you like thats in your budget and watch a couple reviews on.

Corsair make some decent headsets at a good price.

I changed the mobo to a slightly cheaper one because U are not overclocking got ride of the after market cooler then changed the 970 to a 980 with the money U saved u could always get a 970 instead and then spend the money U save on games and peripherals

That build you have decided to go with is very odd. Here's 5 things about it.

1) Why are you only going with a single rad when your case could easily fit a 240mm rad? The better performance is notable, but they usually have slightly better build qualities depending on the brand.

2) I'm not sure I've ever heard of the PSU company. I'd so some MAJOR research on them. Your PSU is the literal heart of your build. If it fails you need to replace EVERYTHING in the build.

3) From looking at the case, there's some issues I can see long-term.
The mesh on the filters is very large, and low-quality. This let's in dust which is harmful to your parts.
The paint apparently comes off easy.
Some people said they've had trouble with cable management.
And lastly the filters seem annoying to remove based on location alone.

There are MUCH better cases out there for around the same. Some even cheaper. I'd suggest going on YouTube and watching some of the cases that JaysTwoCents, LinusTechTips, and TekSyndicate have reviewed/ put a build in.

4) I suggest NOT getting any razor keyboards as they're overpriced. This is NOT my opinion. They use a Chinese based company to supply Key switches, they're called Kailh. They are a "cheap" knock off from the Original Cherry MX. They changed from Cherry to Kailh and DID NOT ADJUST THE PRICES. They are NOT Cherry MX switches. They will fail much faster. Please consider NOT getting one.

5) If you want to check out some good peripherals, I highly recommend the NAOS 8200 Mouse, very comfortable to use with great tracking, and either a Corsair K70 RGB keyboard, or a DAS Prof 4keyboard.
As for headphones/headset. There's a big difference.

A Headphone does NOT come with a mic attached, there are types of "Mod Mics" you can get that clip onto the headphones and some can be VERY good quality. Headphones are BETTER for Gaming, depending on the brand you go with. They usually are more focused on sounds, music, and are very useful for games such as Counter-Strike if you're trying to listen to the low footsteps, you will be able to hear it slightly better depending on the brand of course.

A Headset comes WITH a mic attached. They usually are not made for good quality sounds. They're made for "Gamers" to use and talk without caring about how bad music sounds.

I suggest asking yourself what type you want.

If you want a Headphone, I suggest a DeskMic such as a Blue Yeti. They're around 50$ and go on sale often on Amazon.

I currently use Sennheiser HD598s, I do not have a mic since I don't like talking in-game. But if I was going to get a mic I'd get a Blue Yeti.

Please, don't gloss over the fact that Razor is over-charging you for something that is bound to fail. Save yourself the trouble, go for a real Cherry MX Mechanical Keyboard.

Alright I'll have to look into those headsets.
