This is my first build and i wanted the communities opinions and help with any issues that my build might have (component compatibility,getting more bang for my buck etc). Not looking to spend any-more, its primarily for gaming,not sure if I'm going to do any over-clocking, open to all opinions/suggestions.

NZXT H440 MATTE BLACK MID TOWER
Intel CORE I7-4790K
Gigabyte Z97-D3H
WesternDigital WD2003FZEX 3.5 inch 2TB 64M 7200 SATA3 6G/S CAVIAR Black
Kingston KHX21C11T3K2/16X Beast Series 16GB
Kingston 120GB HyperX 3K SSD SATA3 2.5
Gigabyte GV-N970G1-4GD GeForce GTX 970 G1 Gaming 4GB Video Card
Silverstone ST85F-P Strider Plus Power Supply 850W, Peak 950W, 100% Modular cable, 80Plus Silver Certification
Noctua NH-D15 Multi Socket PWM CPU Cooler

In particular i was concerned about the tower in regards to size
Thank-you for the help.
 
I'd say drop the D15 if you aren't overclocking yet, and use that money to upgrade from the underwhelming 120GB version of the hyperX to a 256GB (or higher) Samsung 850 EVO/Pro.

You can also save money going with a 650W PSU rather than 850W.

As for case size, should be fine. You can also look at the Antec P280 or Fractal Design Define R5, they are similar in overall size and style.
 


Drop the d15 for something like a thermaltake Nic c5 thats been recomended to me?
