Solution
All looks ok, but I have some suggestions:
- Change the psu for a better one. It is not a bad psu, but it gives 30 amps on the 12 volt line, which is very close to the 28 amps your GTX 970 needs.
- Change the motherboard for at least a H97 or ideally a Z97 one. The B85 is not a bad one but it seems a bit odd to get a cheap motherboard on an otherwise high end build. Also it will probably need a BIOS flash before it can boot up that i7 4790. Unless you have an older intel cpu laying around you will not be able to boot up the computer.

Change the 4790 with a Intel Xeon E3 1231 V3. The 200mhz faster isn't worth $66 higher price. It will perform identical to an i7 4770. Change the board to an H97 board, with the savings. SSD, I would change to a Crucial MX100. Change the PSU to an XFX, Seasonic, Evga, or even a better model Antec.
