Some of your components are too expensive compared to your graphics card. For the price of that Rosewill tower you can also get a better case. I've made a list of components to look at over the ones you selected now. RAM doesn't need a change, nor does the dvd drive.

The GTX 970 graphics card should be possible by shaving some price off the components you select. Those are still good components.

ALso a quality psu is needed. Your PSU is okay, but an XFX, EVGA b2/g2, Antec, or SeaSonic PSU is best

Agree with all:

Get a better quality power supply, enermax is not good quality.

Trim down motherboard and possibly even cpu for better GPU.
Better off buying WD Black over the Red drive.

I would go something more like this.

Definitely get the 4690k and the CRYORIG H7 CPU Cooler with that, other than that it looks good. Can you link your HDD (WD NAS?) btw. Can't tell which model it is.

The Corsair is a good case for the price, however It's not so wide and can catch a lot of dust. Not all CPU Air Coolers fit in there if you wanted a really good one.

If you can afford the Fractal R4 Windowed, don't miss out. Great looking case and quality aswell:

Case: Fractal Design Define R4 w/Window (Black Pearl) ATX Mid Tower Case ($79.99 @ Newegg)
Total: $79.99
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

I pay a lot of attention to cases, so I usually try suggesting the best ones. It's what your PC looks like in the end.

Yea sorry i meant the 4690k and heres the link http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA24G28N0668&cm_re=EVGA_SuperNOVA_750_G2_220-G2-0750-XR_750W_80_PLUS_GOLD-_-17-438-017-_-Product

As for cooling do you have any recomendations?
And for cases i like the one in the link but i was wondering if i should just go with full tower to make sure everything fits

 

[RCFProd]

Everyhing will fit no problems. The best full tower especially for the price though is the Phanteks Enthoo Pro. If you can get that one you'll be really happy with it. As I said though, the Fractal R4 will also be easily enough.

For cooling you could add some case fans like the Corsair AF ones to your build. Some information on the R4 windowed regarding cooling:

Cooling system Front: 1 - 120/140mm fan (included is a hydraulic bearing 140mm Silent Series R2 fan, 1000 RPM speed; 1 - 120/140mm fan (not included) Rear: 1 - 120/140mm fan (included is a hydraulic bearing 140mm Silent Series R2 fan, 1000 RPM speed) Top: 2 - 120/140mm fans (not included) - positions also support some models of 240 radiators, depending on configuration Bottom: 1 - 120/140mm fan (not included) Side: 1 - 120/140mm fan (not included) Fan controller: 1 - Integrated fan controller for up to 3 fans (included)

For the Enthoo Pro it is not necessary to buy extra case fans. It already includes good ones.

Ok i realized that i linked the psu instead of the hdd sorry here is the right link what do you think http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822236343&cm_re=western_digital_nas_2tb-_-22-236-343-_-Product

also for cooling i was looking at the hyper 212 evo people were saying its really good or should i just go with the corasir af ones like you said

 

[RCFProd]

The Cryorig H7 is a new (relatively unknown) CPU cooler, it is better than the Hyper 212 Evo so get that instead. It's driven by new technology while the Hyper 212 Evo has been around for a while so It's more familiar with people who suggest builds.

The Corsair AF's are case fans, you need them beside a good CPU Cooler. However, that is just for improved airflow. You are also fine without them and if ever in need to improve you can add/replace those case fans later.

Ok but will the corsair and cryorig fit in the mid tower just want to make sure and i would also like to know what you think about the hard drive because i was felling a little skeptical because it says intellipower for rpm and thanks again for all your help I really appreciate it

 

[RCFProd]

Oh yeah, the WD Red. I'd say go for Caviar Blue or Seagate Barracude that is 1TB, and combine that with an SSD that is 120GB of size or larger. Drives like yours tend to fail faster, I always recommend 1TB if you know you are not going to need 2TB.

Case Fan: Corsair Air Series AF140 Quiet Edition 67.8 CFM 140mm Fan ($16.99 @ Newegg)
Total: $16.99

^ These will fit in the R4.

ok if i get a ssd should i get an external hard drive or internal hard drive as in would the internal hard drive fit

 

[RCFProd]

Plenty of internal HDD's would fit.
