New gaming PC

[Utilize]

So I've been doing some research and I'm ordering a PC from pcspecialist.com, I know I should build myself but I simply don't have time. What do you guys think of the parts?

Case: Zalman Z11
Motherboard: ASUS H81M-PLUS
Processor: Intel i5 4590
RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB
GPU: Zotac GTX 970
SSD: 240GB Kingston V300
HDD: WesternDigital Caviar Black
CPU Cooler: Intel stock
PSU: 650W Corsair CS

Thanks!

This is a good PC build. The only thing I might add is that the Intel stock cooler is really bad for gaming. Try getting an aftermarket cooler. Cooler Master and Zalman make great CPU coolers. Otherwise, great build!

I could add the Super Quiet 22dBA Cooler or the CoolerMaster Hyper 212 EVO.

What do you think about the motherboard? Is there any difference between that one and the H81-Gamer?
Also, I've seen bad things about that PSU. Is this true and will it affect anything?

The only things different from the Asus H81M-Plus is that the Asus H81-Gamer has better audio, ethernet connections, and heatsinks. The gamer version also has more tweaks in the UEFI/BIOS settings (Mostly designed towards gamers and overclockers).

The PSU itself is fine. But, you would do fine with a Corsair CX600W PSU. It is cheaper too. Just an option.

Alright, better audio and ethernet are both things that matter to me. What's the difference between the H81 boards and the Z97 series (apart from my PCI slots and RAM slots)? Do they perform any faster? I'm not too hot on my motherboards.

There is not really much of a difference, other than the Z97 motherboards have more support for SLI/Crossfire GPUs.

Alright, thanks for your help!
