Processor: i5 4690k
GPU: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 970 Overclocked 4GB (SLI in future)
Mobo: MSI ATX DDR3 2600 LGA 1150 Motherboards Z97-G45 GAMING
PSU: Corsair CX 750 WATT
Chassis: CM Haf 912
RAM: 4 gb x 2 : DDR3 1866 MHz
SSD: Transcend 128 GB
Hard Disk: Western Digital 1 TB SATA III 7200 RPM

And also, should I liquid cool? Thanks guys

Your build looks good except for the power supply. Corsair CX series is not made for heavy gamers and overclockers.
I think there's a sale on Antec HCG 850W right now you should check it out. (http://www.ncixus.com/products/?usaffiliateid=1000031504&sku=86284&vpn=HCG-850M&manufacture=Antec&promoid=1395)

Liquid cooling is not necessary unless you live in a fairly hot environment. Cooler master Hyper 212 Evo will do the job just fine!

But i've seen at many places people saying that 750W is more than enough for GTX 970 SLI.

It clearly is. What I ment is that either CX430, CX500, CX600, CX750 and CX850 are made with poor quality components. Regardless of the wattage, you need to check built quality and the total amount of amps on the 12V rails. Corsair introduced CX series for people who wanted to build their own office computer or their own home media center.

Check this list and chose something that suits your needs from tier 1 and 2 : http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-1804779/power-supply-unit-tier-list.html

I recommend the EVGA SuperNova series for the PSU.
For that build, don't liquid cool.
Other than that, looks good to me.
