    I would probably get a Z97 Sli board to allow you to add a second 970 down the road, considering your large budget. PSU to 650w for that same reason.

    Or, with regards the two monitors, could also consider getting a 1440p one for gaming and a basic 2nd 1080p one for whatever else you're doing.

    That makes sense with the monitor. I'll definitely have a look into the Z97.
