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.
