$1500 rig that I'd like to just swap out the GPU's for 4k later

[mglmori]

Hi everybody!I got this build that I'm thinking of as a gaming rig. If you can give me some pointers whether if it might be a decent build. I'm a complete newb, but as far as I can tell the parts are compatible. I like the MSI GTX 970 Golden edition because from what I read it runs very cool.

Do you recommend any other changes? I'm hoping this build will tide me over for a year or so when I can upgrade just the GPU's for 4k...

There is no hard drive?

None of the GTX 970's run particularly hot, as they use so little power. With a $1500 budget, you can get SLI GTX 970 now.

I know this is a subject question, but how long do you think this setup will last me? As in, until I have to upgrade in order to play new games on highest settings..

That is an unknown, in reality, since we don't know how demanding future titles will be, and highly depends on resolution played as well.
