Any last min changes i should take ?

Well, the 970 only requires a 500 watt power supply. You picked a 750 watt so its a tad overkill. Are you planning on adding a second video card or what are your intentions with this?

Oh, actually i want the 850W PSU, because i'm planning add another video card. I think i will change that one.
 
Still 2 970's in sli only needs a 700 watt psu. If you want a little headroom then a 750-800 watt is fine. Also for the most part, you really don't need a dedicated sound card unless you really need it. Your speakers is what really gives you good sound.

That's good to know. I'll change that. Thank you very much!
 
I'd go ahead with Windows 10 from the get go unless you have any particular reason not to. The opinions of the OS are a bit mixed around here though, but I like it. :)

Could also probably drop to a cheaper CPU cooler with minimal impact on performance. The H110i isn't exactly cheap and you won't get much difference between that and a H100i and save yourself from money. Seems a bit overkill for an i5 IMO. Also unsure if it would fit in the S340 off the top of my head.

Looks good though otherwise!

I have a same thought with you, but my friend has one H110i. I ask him which one i should buy, and he told me to get the H110i. Maybe i should change that. Thank you very much!
 
Just from glancing at the two, the H110i has 2 140mm fans rather than 2 120mm fans on the H100i. Should be marginally quieter and get marginally better temperatures. Given that it costs about 30 bucks more though, and your cooling an i5, you probably could save yourself a bit.

I get it. By the way, i have 1 question: should i buy stuffs at newegg?. I saw lot of good deals on that site, but people say their service is bad.
 
Newegg is widely considered to be the best place to buy computer components. Their search functionality and overall selection is the best I've seen. Shipping is fast. Can't comment on their customer support as I've never needed it, but I hear generally that it's pretty good.

Amazon and other places can sometimes have better prices, but their stock is inconsistent and trying to tailor a search is pretty terrible. I use Amazon religiously for buying pretty much everything, but Newegg is better for PC parts.

This is all assuming you're in the US. Things change overseas.
