As you obviously know what the parts do, I will refrain from wall'o'texting to explain what each part does. Feel free to ask any questions though.
So here is what I came up with, I went completely balls to the walls because we had the budget for it! It is how-ever possible to spend less money on looks and then add that saved money for a 2nd GTX 970. Wich would increase performance by about 30-40% depending on game, resolution, settings.
