If you wanted to save money, I'd go with the i5 4690K. It offers
near identical framerate in games, and is almost the same thing as the i7 4790K except it doesn't do hyperthreading, that's all. They're both quad core processors of the same architecture and can be overclocked for similar performance.
The
NH-D14 is in general more effective, quieter, and cheaper than the Corsair H100i. The
H100i can equal the NH-D14 only when the Corsair is set at maximum fan speed, but it's very loud when it does that (45 dBa compared to the Noctua's 28 dBa). If you want a water cooler for better looks and are not concerned about overall performance, something like the
Corsair H60 ($75) will do, but I'd keep the Noctua NH-D14 for better performance.
The Gaming 5 costs more than the Gaming 3, but
functionally and spec-wise, there is very little difference between them. Physically, the only difference is that the Gaming 5 has some gold-plated connectors, slightly larger mosfet heatsinks, and more expensive capacitors for the same audio chipset. The Gaming 5 is also better for overclocking, but the Gaming 3 should already be enough to overclock with. I'd go with the Gaming 3 to save more money.
I wouldn't choose 1600MHz RAM just to save $1. Go with the
2133MHz model for $1 more instead.
Are you sure you don't need a hard drive? Just a single 512GB SSD is enough?
Considering price to performance, $400 for the GTX 970 isn't great, but I guess you prefer Nvidia instead? Just to make sure, you are aware of the GTX 970's 3.5GB effective VRAM issue, right?The R9 290X being $50 cheaper,
offering similar performance, and having a full 4GB of effective VRAM makes it easier to recommend. It's up to you, though.
You won't need 850 watts with a single GTX 970. Even if you wanted to add a second GTX 970 for future SLI, you only need 700~750 watts. The
EVGA 750 watt model Kharma45 recommended earlier will do just fine.
The Corsair 750D is a very nice looking case, but expensive as well. If you want a large case, I'd recommend something cheaper like the
windowless version of the full tower Phanteks Enthoo Pro ($90) unless you really preferred the Corsair instead.
Edit:
Ok so I just noticed that there is an issue with the Geforce 970... is there a substitute for this card ?
Yes, Kharma45 and I recommend the R9 290X we mentioned earlier. This version of your build comes in at $1415, with my suggestions from above incorporated into it. it's quite similar to Kharma45's $1200 parts list.
