Is this build got any bottlenecks?

Hello, I'll be building this computer hopefully in this month so could you guys take a look at my build and see if anything will bottleneck another component?

If you're getting the 4690 i'd look at H97 motherboards but no bottlenecks. Are you going to get a GPU? That CPU can handle any GPU.

On the build page it should say that i'm buying the gpu from amazon. Anyway yeah the GPU is a gtx970 STRIX.

Nice GPU, look at the Asrock H97 Fatality Performance. It's a pretty mice board. The Z87 will need a bios update to work with the 4690.

The processor might not run in that mb until you can do a BIOS update

Use either an H97 motherboard
Or change the processor to a 4690k and use a Z97 chipset board

The RAM os not special . IMO use 1600 Mhz CAS 9 RAM

You need a 500 - 550 watt psu to run that build

And use windows 8.1
Its easy to add a start button with Classic Shell , you get a better license , longer support and probably a free upgrade to Win 10 next year

What does the H97 Fatality Performance over the H87 for the extra $10?

I agree that 8.1 is better.
To get a decent 500w+ PSU in Aus costs almost as much as the B2 so you may as well get the 750w B2. You can SLI on a 750w which is good for the future too.
I agree that you should get better RAM too. I'd look at any of these 3.

The H87 is made for the previous generation of processors (Haswell), like Z87 motherboards it would need a bios update for it to work with the 4690 (Haswell Refresh)
