Depends on which resolution you'll be playing. If you're just using a full HD (1080p) monitor, go for the GTX970, you won't see any difference, certainly not enough to pay that much more.

Im looking at a dell 1440p 25inch monitor

The GTX970 should be enough to play most games maxed out on that resolution as well. I wouldn't spend the extra 180 bucks getting only a higher frame rate and almost the same fluent gameplay.

So ill get a 970 and a i7 6700K willthat be good?

That's okay, but what are you planning to do with your pc?
An i5 is perfect for gaming, daily tasks and most heavier CPU tasks... So you could save some money on the CPU if that's all you need.
And what about your current rig, do you have one?

No haha
But i plan running fsx well and you need a good cpu with high clock speed, i will also do word and video processing and most game on it!

The i5 ninjabubbles recommended could do those things pretty fluently. If you want some extra performance, especially for video processing/rendering, go for the i7.

I think the i7 would be more future proofed anyway wouldnt it

Yes, of course it is more future proof. If you have the money, go for it.

Looks pretty good. Can you afford to jump up to 16GB of RAM? 8GB is relatively low, especially when you are using an i7-6700K build.This is my final PC specs if you guys have any suggestions on what to change that would be much appreciated cheers,

Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 Memory

Depends what you do, but 8GB is pretty low end for a computer these days.
Many would argue with you about that. For most users 8gb is plenty.

Look at most desktops in stores these days, most low-mid ranged machines start with 8-12GB of RAM. It's relatively cheap, and it can easily be used up. Even editing photos in Photoshop at times consumes over 16GB for me.
