Hi, i am looking for any opinions on my selected components for my first build, and also a little help in choosing some parts from the list. My selected parts are:

CPU: Intel core i5 4690K
GPU: GTX 970 G1 GAMING from Gigabyte
RAM: HyperX / Corsair 16GB 1600MHz
MoBo: Gigabyte Z97x-SLI
CPU Cooler: Corsair H80i.
PSU: Corsair CX600M
Case: Cooler Master Mastercase PRO 5 / Corsair 500R or 350D
Fans: Corsair SP 120 x2
SSD: 120 GB
HDD: 1TB

I would not go with a Corsair CX anything. You will get an obnoxious coil whine if you use it with a GTX 970. Don't go less than an HX750 PSU.

Thanks for the answer. The thing is that I used Coolermaster´s wattage calculator and it resulted in a 550 watts more or less, you think i should consider more because of overclocking or just for safety?. Thanks again.

I think 550 is the bare minimum you could get by with. If you get an HX750, you will have high grade capacitors built specifically to reduce coil whine. It also means your PSU is not running on max all the time and it gives you breathing room if you want to add any internal hardware or use more peripherals.
