16GB is not needed. I can bet you're not even going to use 8GB.
Shit PSU.
You have an unlocked CPU, but you have a H97 motherboard. On top of that, you don't have an aftermarket cooler.
Are you overclocking, or not? If overclocking, you'll want a good quality Z97 motherboard and you'll also want an aftermarket cooler. Refer to my second build. If not overclocking, get a i5-4460.

Can’t trickshot me!
Looks much better. I'd rather have the R9 390 over the GTX 970, but if you want the GTX 970, that's your call.

I'm not saying the WD Greens are bad, I'm just saying they're slow. OP originally included a 120GB SSD. 120GB is only good for OS + main applications, then he has to rely on the WD Green for the rest of his storage. It's a 5400 RPM drive. I wouldn't want to use that kind of drive if it's constantly going to be accessed. A 5400 RPM drive (such as the WD Green) is meant for pure storage. A 120GB SSD won't be able to hold much. You'd have to pick and choose what goes on the SSD and what goes on the HDD and a lot of things won't make it on the SSD, especially games. OP plans on purchasing a GTX 970. I think it's safe to assume he is going to have a couple of high-end games on his PC. If that is true, he won't be able to fit many games on the SSD. He'd only be able to fit one high-end game (BF4, GTA V, SW:BF, Fallout 4, etc), or a couple of lower-end games (CS:GO, League of Legends, etc.) on the SSD, and then the rest of his games on the 5400 RPM drive. I would absolutely hate trying to run a game from a 5400 RPM drive.

I going to get some high end games like JC3 maybe GTA V etc and some other small games. And i going to do some programing and coding
PS.

You should be good for now. A 250GB SSD + 1TB 7200 RPM drive should be fine for most people. If you ever use up then entire 1TB drive, then you can always add more later.
