Need advice on my first pc

[jeffch]

I am looking to build my first pc and was wondering if this is a good setup: http://au.pcpartpicker.com/user/chon0012/saved/s63Pxr
Please give me advice as to what parts won't work well. I am planning to save money and not buy a cpu cooler is that a bad decision? Any advice is appreciated thanks!

Sorry here is my list http://au.pcpartpicker.com/user/chon0012/saved/s63Pxr

The Corsair 100R ATX Mid Tower Case supports video cards up to 414mm long, but video cards over 275mm may block drive bays. Since the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 970 4GB WINDFORCE 3X Video Card is 310mm long, some drive bays may not be usable. I would also ditch the 250GB SSD and get a 120GB+1TB HDD+aftermarket cooler for CPU ( trust me you will need it)

So...The GPU will fit no problem but will get very close to the HDD bays. If you put a HDD into those bays, then you will not fit the GPU.
