I need some suggestions for the build. I will add 100$ for better expierience if needed. I will not overclock at the start maybe I will do it when the CPU gets more outdated.

Build:
CPU: I7-4790k
GPU: MSI GTX 970
MOBO: Biostar Hi-Fi Z97WE
RAM: G Skill RipjawsX 2x4gb 2400MHZ
PSU: Seasonic M12II Bronze 750 750W 80 Plus Bronze retail
HDD: 2tb 7200rpm
CASE: CHASER A31 THUNDER USB 3.0 WINDOW (2X120MM, LED)
 
Solution
Go for the i5-4690k instead. Stay with the 750w for future SLI. Save the money from using the i5 instead of i7 and get another 970 later for the best performance. i7 is not needed in games yet.

I don't see anything wrong with your build except the psu. Why 750w? In that build I'd get 600w. If i were you I would not upgrade. With that $100 I rather do something good with it. Like buy a game or something. Or better yet use it to go to the gym.
