Dont really understand, you want to know if the system you made is any good? Because it is, but i wouldnt have made the same choices as you, for example i would go for a i5-4690k, msi z97 gaming 5, noctua or phanteks cooler, cheaper memory, an ssd, a gtx 970 and an xfx 550w psu.

This is the build i would make, i didnt spend more because i dont believe its necesary. And i even include a 256 gb ssd and 16 gb of ram, You will only notice the difference between an i5 and an i7 if you are rendering and editing videos, if you plan to do that, then yes, i would spend more money and get the i7.

http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Chrismxer12/saved/hGgWGX This is my ultimate pc build for you. It is a bit over but the best you will get for your money. Also it has much better and upgraded parts such as the gold+ power supply and the water cooling plus ram, I hope you like it. :)
PS: If you want my build, it is a bit lower in price and my opinion better and includes a monitor so check it out if you want http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Chrismxer12/saved/CjxmP6

Also yours is a bit cheap nucolos, I agree with the 970 and maybe the motherboard but that power supply is very bad plus you would want a 60% ratio which mine doesn't give you but the better the ratio the better performance so by getting the supernova evga 650w then you will get better performance and the parts won't get as much wear on them. Now the cpu, it is not a bad choice but at this point in gaming you would want a i7. even if the i5 is a bit better go with the i7 because it is newer and get better performance out of it, also some of the newer games you get better performance out of the i7 even if the i5 is better. So overall the 4790k is a given. Although you do not need a 980 which I agree to get the 970 because they have fixed the bugs of the 970 and as a test my brother had gotten a new 970 with a 3.5 intel processor overclocked to 4.0 ghz. The game was Star citizen on very high graphics and an even higher user config he was in 50-60 frame rate range and never dipped below 50 and don't forget to take in account the game is highly un optimized. The only game I don't think it would not get good fps would be arma 3 king of the hill just because you need as beastly computer.
