Ok so after like a month, I've composed all the parts i think would go great for my gaming rig. I want to play games like BF4, Witcher 3 and The Crew on 1080p ultra (or around ultra). I fell good about everything i have so far except the PSU and the MOBO so if i could get any comments on those, that'd be really helpful. Anyway, heres all the parts:

CPU/CPU COOLER:
Intel Core i5-4690K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler

MOBO/RAM/GPU:
Asus Z97-A ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
Kingston HyperX FURY 8GB 1600MHz DDR3
MSI GTX 970 GAMING 4G GeForce GTX 970 4GB Video Card

Done a PartPicker build? If so, post it to get prices

The Supernova G2 is the PSU to get. See tier 1 of http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html#xtor=EPR-8886

Crucial MX100 is a better SSD Or Samsung evo 850.

I would've looked for 2 x 4gb 1866 cl9 1.5v ram eg GSkill Ares

The WD Blue is slow. Get a black or a Seagate Barracuda

The ASRock Z97 Extreme 4 is a good alternate to the Asus Z97-A - and cheaper

Peripherals are a personal thing.
