Alright, changed my build slightly since everyone's helped me, thanks so much btw, and I now have the build I'm planning to start ordering parts for

AND I have a upgrade path I want to presue with the build. In the future I want to add a 4k monitor at Christmas time, 4 months after that I wan to add another 390x and new psu then at the next Christmas get a really good i7 and new motherboard. Thoughts?

Motherboard supports SLI, as does the PSU. So add another 970 when you need/want and you'll be fine. Single 970 will play 1440p well, SLI 970s will slay 1440p. 4k is still meh IMO, and I'd still rather play at 1440p than 4k tbh. The 390x performs pretty similar to a 290x, and the 290x is barely better than the 970. I wouldn't bother spending the extra $150 on the 390x, especially since XFire 390x's will be $300 more expensive than SLI 970s for only slightly better performance, and the 970s will still handle 1440p perfectly well. Vengeance RAM is ugly IMO, Vengeance LP is nicer but there's no need to pay an extra $10(almost) for uglier RAM. You can spend $2 less for Vengeance LP, but it's a blue kit so would look a little weird in the black/gold motherboard. More storage and a far superior SSD. An actual good quality PSU. The G1's were shit. For the mouse, get the Raptor M45 instead of the Xornet, if you wish. I have the M45, it's a great mouse, better than the M65. I wouldn't waste money on an RGB keyboard. I have an RGB keyboard and it's pretty useless. Just get one with LEDs in the colour that will match your rig best, and you'll be fine. Quickfire is a place holder, it's a great keyboard but grab a K70 or something instead if you wish. I just personally wouldn't bother spending the extra $40 for RGB lighting, but you can if you wish.
