For $55 more (after rebates) I changed out some of the parts. I think you'd be happy with the extra spent.

Both the NEX750G and 750B are lesser quality power supplies. Something like a Seasonic G Series 550 would be a better option with a 6700K and GTX 970.

Also, why a 6700K and a GTX 970 when $100 can be saved with a 6600K? Heck, why not just get an I5-6500 with an H170 or H110 motherboard, drop the aftermarket cooler, and put the money into a better GPU that'll in the end give better performance. Graphics processing units are kind of more important than central processing units when gaming.

16gb only improves a handfull fps in SOME games, 8gb gets the job done with ease.

more RAM doesn't result in better FPS, it stops the drops of fps when RAM is filled and page swapping kicks in. For newer games I'd recommend more than 8GB, especially big open world titles.
