Small Gaming PC, Opinions?

I'm building a small PC for a friend and i wanted some opinion on my parts list.

any reason for going with an i3? I would at least go for low end i5 and maybe not use an open cooler GPU in such a small case 

If you've already thought of this then go for it

I went with an i3 just to save money. Do you think it will bottleneck the gpu?

yes it will definatly bottle neck a 980.

thats a dual core cpu, an i5 will only be another $70 

 

Go with a i5 + 970.

ok thanks

updated build
