Trying to build my gaming PC, need help

Hi, I'm fairly new to building PCs and wanted to know if the parts I selected would be compatible and good reliable brands. I've read a lot that the 970 has a bad coil whine and am just extremely confused on what I should do. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

First buy a good motherboard that Asus as with most of their low end boards uses low quality parts and has a lot of issues read some of the reviews http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813132118&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=
You can't beat this combo deal on the processor and motherboard. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.2017055
For the coil wine some will have it some will not the luck of the draw that's why they have a warranty.
The hybrid storage drive will show you 0 performance increase.

I'm not so sure you need the i7 over the i5, and you certainly don't need an 850w power supply, but that's more personal preference stuff. Otherwise it looks like quite the beast of a machine.

Thanks for the tip, I'll change to Gigabyte for the mobo.
I think I'm able to return it and try again if the coil whine is extremely bad
I didn't know that, someone just told me to get it xD

Thanks a bunch, again

The 850w psu was just cheaper than some of the others, I don't know if too much watts could be a thing. Thanks!

The 850 Watt power supply will allow you to add another 970 in the future in SLI is you wish.
