So, For about 4 months I have been working and researching and I have come to this build. Is it good or not? And is their some revisions to make it cheaper but still same quality? Thanks

I'd change the HDD to the Western Digital brand instead. It cost $5 more, but it's WAY more reliable and will probably last you a couple more years then that Seagate HDD would last you.

Also, the GTX 970 only has 3.5GB's of VRAM, you do know this right?
