Another build to be looked at by the experts using the GTX 980 ti

I have asked about alot of builds on here and today I noticed that PC Case Gear are doing a AUD$600 bundle, the bundle includes: Intel Core i5 6600K Processor
MSI Z170A Krait Gaming Motherboard
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) 2400MHz DDR4 Memory
Please note: Limit of 1 bundle per customer, Intel K Series unlocked CPU's do not include a cooler - strictly while stocks last!
So I have once again put together another build trying to get the best price to performance for my build. My budget is ~AUD$2300. If I have done my math right the build is at AUD$2399 with the bundle taken into account.This PC will be used for editing and gaming. Any advice or opinions on the build from some experienced builders would be great.

Well only thing I can say is that NEX is not the greatest PSU, better buy a G2 (again supernova evga 650W). Also that is a full tower, made for several gpus but if you like it no reason to change it.

Hey again man yeah the new board from last build supports SLI for the future and the case is big enough for me to build onto with ease plus again the aesthetics of this case win me over.

On 1080p at the moment but looking to go to 1440p 27" as soon as possible , I want to be able to play the latest games on the best settings and have this PC last for years to come. I also plan on eventually getting a second GTX 980 ti.

Also there are no G2's available in Australia that I have seen. @ 650W.

Okay, then a GTX 980Ti is good. Go for my build.

Then you could go for the NEX.

Is there a better PSU for cheaper?

 

[Gingerbread]

Not really, especially cheaper.
