Totally worth it in the end. 
I like the motherboard, the CPU is good.

What about this ram?

Whats you're build again?
I'd look for different RAM.  DDR 3  - 1600

Look in the DDR3 1600 section, would probably be the best bet. 
This is what I bought.

I ran without the GTX 970 for a while though.

Why 1600? and not something higher?

That page suggests  "Only one DIMM per channel is supported for DDR3-1866MHz and higher speed as using an AM3+ CPU."

Do you live in the US?

Best Buy is selling a Seagate 5 TB for $139.99

Likewise Microcenter is selling a Western Digital 4 TB for $139.99 as well.

Both external harddrives.

I'm planning to buy the 5 TB one tomorrow so I can use as a backup for my games, videos, movies, music, etc :P
D: I want those drives.

Best PC digital prices most of the time: http://www.nuuvem.com.br/

It's a brazilian site and the prices seem most of the time a lot lower than they are in US/Europe. Check it out!
