Edited slightly but i'd either extend budget for a SSD or replace the i5 and motherboard for a i5 4460 and a cheaper motherboard.

Slightly more expensive but you get an SSD in there. Swap the SSD for a smaller capacity one to save some money. If you don't need SLI support, you can save on motherboard. If you do decide to SLI the 970's, you'll need a larger PSU. If you're overclocking, you'll want a decent aftermarket cooler, which you can add later. If you're not overclocking, get a 4460 instead and just use stock cooler.

You don't need an SSD as I never got one for the time being but everyone I've heard talked to about them they say their really good and are really fast. As for the network card you wouldn't need one you could just run a wired connection through the computer but you could also get a usb dongle that picks up wifi, this worked for me . But if you want want an extra usb slot and then go for the Ethernet card. Also if you have enough money for the ssd and you don't mind putting the money towards one then go for it

Fixed it a little, better GPU cooler trust me this year the strix one is the worst it has a crippled power delivery and isn't that quiet either if you need silence the MSI is the best for that.
