Heya, First time builder looking for some insight on my new Build. If all goes smooth will be ordering tomorrow.

Things to Note, Is that PSU enough to run a second GTX970 in the future?
And regarding OS, Is windows 8 better than Windows 7? Or is that strictly personal choice.

Thank you very much for the time.
 
Is this just for gaming? If so then I would go with a I5 4690K. Yeah the power supply should be fine for that. I would go with Windows 8 but it's basically a personal choice. Great build otherwise.
