Just right: Case, Headset, Keyboard and OS.
To change: Spend more on a CPU for this price range. The cooler is overkill, too much money, try Hyper 212 EVO. Thermal paste is too expensive, comes with your cooler. Motherboard should be in $100-150 unless you need the features this one has. You don't need 16GB of RAM, 8 is fine. 512GB isn't enough storage, SSD is too expensive, buy a hard drive to start out. If you're going to buy 2 of the same card, make sure it's the highest end card. 2 970s is much less practical than 1 980 or 980ti. 80+ Platinum and Modular isn't neccesary on a power supply. Get a cheaper corsair one. That sound card is a joke right? You don't need one. Also assuming network adapter is a joke, motherboard has an ethernet port. Wifi adapter is overpriced, get a USB one so you can move for best signal. Monitor is obviously overkill, I recommend a cheap AOC 1080p.

Its 2016, 16gb of RAM is perfectly acceptable. Not to mention he said dream build, how can you have overkill in a dream build?

I think you should go with 8GB cards so you get 32GB you don't want to run out of ram if you are running 8 minecrafts at one

Also drop a bit more cash and I would buy razer keyboards/mice because ily razer they would probably be a bit nicer for a dream pc with the chroma lighting

You're right about it being a dream build, what I meant was that sound cards aren't worth it. Check out this video from Tek Syndicate where they explain how an external DAC/AMP is much better for audio, and sound cards sound the same or worse than the motherboard sound.

Soundcards are for Audiophiles. I spend a ton of money improving audio and I must say, I have a £30 soundcard and it is massive upgrade to the in built intigrated into the motherboard. http://www.amazon.com/Creative-Blas...e-Headphone/dp/B00EO6X7PG?tag=duckduckgo-d-20
A cheap one will do. Also I recommend going for 1 980 ti as it will be worth it more. Should be cheaper as well and it can run ANY game at 1080p, 1440p and if I am not mistaken, 4k.
