I wouldnt go with 4690k when pricing up at 850-900 cuz 6600k might last longer as its a gen up. You could go with a cheaper gpu, thats all. And feel free to push in a r9 380 instead of the gtx970 if u rly need to keep under around 1000

However, dont forget how much power the pc would "surge" if changing from 80+ gold and from gtx 970
