Check your PMs.

I'd use an 5 4690 instead of the i7 - cheaper but just as good.

I'd use a better mobo - H97 instead of old B85

I'd use a better PSU - there's been problems with CX600

The 970 is good. And the 350D (but a bit small)

For an equivalent, I'd build -

CPU: Intel Core i5-4690K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor ($239.99 @ Newegg) CAN BE OVERCLOCKED
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler ($28.98 @ OutletPC) GOOD REVIEWS AND CHEAP
Motherboard: MSI Z97-GAMING 5 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($149.99 @ Newegg) RECOMMENDED BY TOM'S
Memory: G.Skill Ares Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory ($81.99 @ Newegg) FASTER
Storage: Samsung 840 Pro Series 128GB 2.5" Solid State Drive ($150.00 @ Logic Supply) SSD
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($53.95 @ Amazon)
Video Card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 970 4GB WINDFORCE 3X Video Card ($349.99 @ Amazon)
Case: Corsair Graphite Series 230T Orange ATX Mid Tower Case ($69.99 @ Amazon) BIT BIGGER
Power Supply: Antec High Current Gamer 520W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply ($57.00 @ Newegg) MUCH BETTER QUALITY
Optical Drive: LG GH24NS95 DVD/CD Writer ($19.98 @ OutletPC)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (OEM) (64-bit) ($88.98 @ OutletPC)
Wireless Network Adapter: Asus PCE-N15 802.11b/g/n PCI-Express x1 Wi-Fi Adapter ($27.98 @ OutletPC)
Total: $1293.82

Thanks for replying so fast, I like your Idea but my main problem is that there is no service that can have the PC built with those parts, hence why I chose NCIX any suggestions?

Ask if instead of 16gb ram you can have 8gb and a SSD

Um, thanks for the suggestion but I'm a heavy multitasker so I'm gonna stick with 16gb, other than that... This build good??

 

[i7Baby]

Its better than the first one. Better PSU. Better CPU. I'd ask what make and model gtx970 are they using too.

[i7Baby]

It'll be from someone else. But it'll have a reference cooler on it eg http://www.geeks3d.com/20140919/nvidia-geforce-gtx-980-and-gtx-970-launched/
