Hi all. Below are the parts that I have thought about getting for my new PC. I would really appreciate some comments and feedback before I decide to order. I live in Scandinavia, so some of the listed parts may be cheaper/pricier compared to the US, but any suggestions for parts that may reduce the overall cost are gladly accepted. I prefer Intel and Nvidia, since I have used those brands in previous builds and have never experienced any issues. Also, I am specifically looking to get a monitor with IPS.

CPU: Intel Core i5-4690K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler
Motherboard: Asus MAXIMUS VII RANGER ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
Memory: G.Skill Ares Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Storage: Crucial MX100 256GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Storage: Western Digital BLACK SERIES 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card: Asus GeForce GTX 970 4GB STRIX Video Card
Case: NZXT S340 (White) ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply: Corsair RM 550W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply
Monitor: Dell U2515H 60Hz 25.0" Monitor
Keyboard: Corsair Vengeance K70 Wired Gaming Keyboard
Mouse: Logitech G502 Wired Optical Mouse

Thank you for your time.
 
Everything looks good to me. You can save some cash if you get a different motherboard though. The ranger is the ROG low end, but it still offers a ton of features for extreme overclocking that you will likely never use.

I would choose a ASRock Z97 Extreme 6.

Thanks a lot for your response. The ASUS is actually cheaper than the ASRock where I'm at.
