So I have decided to build my own PC and after planning, came up with this build plan. I'll probably use it for mostly playing Minecraft (with shaders or FTB like modpacks) and CSGO, sometimes recording / rendering. How much frames per second would it get, and is this a good build?
If you're overclocking, get a different cooler. Don't get a junk AIO water cooler, there are much better Air coolers for the money. And if you're not overclocking, drop the cooler completely.
Spend the extra $15 and get a bigger/much better SSD. The V300 series SSDs are pretty slow, and 60gb is pointless when you can get a 120gb Samsung EVO 850 for like $60.
Also I would go for a R9 390 over the GTX 970, but that's up to you.
Last of all, get a SuperNova G2 power supply over the NEX

thanks. I'm probably overclocking, so I'll replace the cooler. I'll also get a better SSD and power supply. Also, how much FPS would i get?
I would reconsider the cooler, it says you should use with care on CPUs with a TDP over 65 watts, and yours uses 88, not sure how much it matters, but its worht to take into consideration.
If you decide to stick with it though, it does come with thermal paste so you dont have to spend 11$ on getting more.

Feel free to criticize
Couple things:
If you're overclocking, get a different cooler. Don't get a junk AIO water cooler, there are much better Air coolers for the money. And if you're not overclocking, drop the cooler completely.

Can't find a SuperNova G2 power supply I live in Australia, and the only available ones cost a lot. (and its like 1000W or something)
If you are asking for minecraft, you should easily reach triple digits.
For any other game, just look up benchmarks for your card.
thanks
Edited my build a bit. Could not find a Supernova G2 power supply anywhere on pcpartpicker xD tho.
BTW, Using Australian dollars here

The PSU you selected is a G2, it just doesn't say it for some reason on PCPP. When you click to buy it, it says its the G2
