i have been plaing on my old pc for 3y now and i want to move on i have done some reserch and i have made this build. The problem is that iam an under 18 so all my money is pocket money (takes ages to colect for a pc ).

You have selected a laptop hard drive 2.5 inch.
This is a desk top 3.5 inch drive:

You should use a 2x4GB kit not two single 4GB sticks.

You could save a few if you take a step down from the top i5 CPU
also your GPU is the majority of your costs...
Lower GPU = Lower Cost
Your GPU is a bit overkill if you are just gonna run 1080p resolution.
The GTX 970 is a monster card and likely much cheaper.

AMD
Get the R9 280X or better "it offers the best sub-$300 graphics card performance that money can buy." -Tomshardware.com
Get the GTX 970 or better "more often than not, the GeForce GTX 970 will beat the Radeon R9 290X at similar graphics settings." -Tomshardware.com

Both choices are excellent... the 280X is much cheaper than your current choice and the 970 is a bit more but faster.

However I can understand if you don't want to take a step down in GPU... I'm just saying, for most people a slightly lesser card will work just fine.

You don't need GTX 980 for that.
Even just GTX 960 4Gb is enough for that.

If you are not going to overclock, you can take just regular i5 4670/4690 (usually slightly cheaper than K version)
Or step it down slightly even further and take 4440 or 4460.

After that, take the GTX970 instead of GTX980 as said.

OP, simply go with the GTX 970! It can run Witcher 3 just fine.
