Looks good, maybe replace the i5 with the i7 4790K if you can afford it, might as well.

Ahh yes, forgot to edit my post..

Ninja said it.. If you can upgrade go for it!

You could also leave the optical drive out if you feel that you can use another computer to load the OS. Considering most games are downloaded, there shouldn't be much of a need for one..

You could potentially get a 2TB HDD and leave the SSD out to save some and upgrade elsewhere. Also, you could look for an R9 290, which would be more cost effective compared to the 970..
