[Build Help] - i7 4790k with Asus strix gtx 970

[Kcheath]

Hi there! I'm looking at buying a PC in the next few weeks, and I've got my heart set on the i7 4790k and the GTX 970. I would ideally like for these processors to go into a [bitfenix prodigy case](http://www.bitfenix.com/global/es/products/chassis/prodigy#specs).
Can you help me select a motherboard, PSU, Ram (8gb please but as one module), water cooler for the CPU and a SSD for the OS.
I ideally would like these parts to come to no more that £400!!
Thank you in advance!

I plugged in the parts you'd specified and went from there.

The total, in all cost of the build: CPU, GPU, and case included, will total out to about £868.70

NOTE: PCPARTPICKER FLAGS THIS CASE AND GPU TO HAVE POTENTIAL ISSUES REGARDING LENGTH.

Note2: This GPU in the list may not have been the one you had in mind. Feel free to substitute it out accordingly.
