What are your thoughts? Gonna be playing League/CS:GO/and streaming. Any last minute changes for CPU/GPU? I feel like adding 2 more sticks of ram wouldn't hurt.

diffrent SSD, the kingston is very very slow. Other SSD read more then twice as fast and write 3 times faster for about the same price.
you dont need thermal paste as it is included in the cooler. Also you should not use conductive paste unless you really really know what your doing and have done it a lot of times.
r9 390 > gtx 970. Both retail around the same price, but the r9 390 does not struggle with the VRAM in newer titles.
If you want to overclock your CPU to the maximum and still have your computer run quite i would maybe invest into a larger cooler. -> http://pcpartpicker.com/part/thermalright-cpu-cooler-machorevb

8gb RAM should be enough at the moment. You can always update it later.
I got the case myself and can only say good things about it.

The crucial BX200 has better speeds all around same price.

r9 390 for sure has more power and uses more power then the gtx 970.

well u dont really have any options for CPU cuz u already bought mobo for skylake, so only CPU u can get are skylakes.
idk why u got 2133 rams when 2400 are the same price or the kingston v300 ssd
as for GPU it's up to you, if you think you will have higher than 1080 resolution for gaming in the future, go with 390.

Is there anything wrong with the build though? Even though I screwed myself in a few spots. Still good overall, right?
