I need to know if everything will work together, and all fit in the case properly. Also do I have all the needed parts, and am I getting them from the right place at the right price? Thanks for viewing.

They will work together, but the build is extremely unbalanced.
What is your full budget?
Will you need a Monitor, KB, or mouse?
Will you overclock?

And he gave you help, he is a very respectable and trusted user in the PC building forums. a 5820k is a little bottleneck for a 970, get a Define S/R4/R5

Its not bad, but its unbalanced and an i7 5820k un-needed for gaming. Especially in only a $1200 budget. The 450w PSU does not belong in a build like that. The 390 would be better than a 970.

Overall, a much more balanced build. GPU is much better, has an SSD, and can add another 390 in XFire at any point.
Hey now, dont be rude. He wasnt being rude at all. He was just asking questions. You are the one being rude atm.
