In all honesty. You could defintely do with a gtx 970. You will save about $100 and could put that money into a better motherboard and a better ssd. The R9 390x is way overkill for 1080p gaming as well as the gtx 980. Unless you're planning on going into 2k gaming, you would be wasting your money by buying the gtx 980 or R9 390x.

So the whole Build is nice but i was thinking,you might wanna swap that r9 390x since the gtx 980 outperforms it and has less power consumption and maybe buy an 1TB HDD WD Caviar Blue instead of getting immediatly the ssd,unless you can manage your storage that well.
